  February 28, 2016 - Magnum - excellent aged wine - bottle and fill excellent, the cork had black fungus on top and was solid, extracted in one piece. Wine was decanted. Considerable bottle funk requiring at least 2 hours to clear, the wine became more vivid and beautiful with time. Earth, leaves, leather and spice, perfect with pastas - tomato based and Guanicale. Should keep (especially in large format), but not likely to get better

  February 2, 2009 - Exceptional wine. Bottle condition and fill excellent. Cork looked somewhat newer, slipped out easily and was spongy feeling, but bore the 1985 vintage imprint. A few fingers of wine had extended to the top of the cork. Popped and poured and enjoyed with steak. Dark ruby / garnet color with watery disc. Initially this seemed bland and lifeless with little tannic structure, but what a transformation over the next 3 hours. The phoenix-like tannins arose from a seemingly tired wine and a beautiful bouquet emerged. Lovely earthy tuscan nose with herbal, floral and leather notes. It continued to evolve and please. I have had mixed experiences with older Tuscan wines, but this wine is outstanding.
