Not clear this is ever going to amount to much. Young and tannic, but the fruit doesn't seem to be there. A disappointment.

Perfectly integrated and drinking superbly now, one would almost certainly identify this as Pauilliac if tasted blind. The nose is cherries, leather and flowers. Rich, complex and smooh, with the Merlot contributing a beautiful sweetness that complements the Cab S. The finish lasts forever. The best Gusto di Notri I've had, perhpas the best bordeaux blend super tuscan. Nothing to suggest this is on its way downhill yet, but there's no reason to wait, either.

Passover dinner. Tar and leather on the nose; well balanced fruit and tar, with well integrated oak on the palate. A long and sweet finish. Have not had this before, but had a feeling the fruit was thin and it is probably a good idea to drink this up.

Tar and smoke on the nose, incredibly fresh berry and plum fruit on the palate, soft tannin on a long finish.
