  Un vin qui mérite de vieillir encore un peu. Très bien fait. 86+

  December 25, 2011 - A really fantastic wine. Dark and showing plenty of fruit balanced against beautiful dusty tannins. Also, dark chocolate and a little clean spice. Wonderful.

  October 28, 2010 - Plenty of tannin, plenty of acid, but short on fruit. Enough earth/underbrush to clearly be old world Italian, but not enough fruit to balance it out. Pleasant enough to drink nonetheless, but 'm not convinced on the QPR.

  EDIT: OK: 3 hrs in (remained in bottle, mostly re-corked), this is starting to show some fruit on the nose and the palate, Not huge, but it's there. (Or is it my wine buzz? Tonight I drink alone...very sad.).

  I pulled this bottle because of a CT drinking window of "drink by 2010". Given the narrow holdings/tastings of this wine, I may have put too much faith in that. No promises, but if I had another bottle, I'd hold 2-3 years or decant 1-2 hrs.
