  March 4, 2017 - Tappo sbriciolato, rimasto attaccato alle pareti impossibile da staccare. Colore granato scurissimo (unghia aranciata), vino velato nonostante la decantazione, al naso inizialmente sentore di sughero marcio poi migliorato, rimasto leggero odore di ossidato, molta arancia sanguinella, ciliegia, balsamico, cacao e caffè, nota amara di liquirizia.
  In bocca di corpo-, caldo (13.5°), rotondo, fresco-, leggermente sapido, giustamente tannico, poco persistente.
  Vino che ha già iniziato a decadere, anche l'acidità non è più sostenuta, nessun voto perché vino non al top, saremmo intorno a 85.
  
  Crumbled cork, no possibility to remove it from the bottle neck walls. Very dark garnet colour (orange rim), decanted wine but still shrouded, initially at the nose stink of rotten cork then improved with time, light oxidise note, clear blood orange, cherry, balsamic, cocoa, coffee, bitter note of licorice.
  In the mouth medium/low body, warm (13.5°), round, medium/low acidity, smooth tannins, short finish. Wine which has already started to deteriorate, acidity is going down, no rate because the wine is not in good healt, it should be around 85.

  January 5, 2017 - Last bottle 2004 and probably the best one. Still full of life.

  December 30, 2015 - Deep Ruby in color. The nose is nice with cherries and sandalwood. A bit of dust. On the palate, there is a nice tart acidity that works well with food. Not so well finishing the last glass after dinner. It has gotten a decent complexity with age, but this seems to be just sliding past peak. A nice showing for sure, but I hoped for a bit better.

  August 26, 2015 - As per my previous note, the wait was worth it. Sadly the final bottle but a great tipple with berries and a bit of mocha coming through.
