  January 1, 2014 - Grande Vin Santo del 1996, messo in bottiglia nel 2002.
  Colore ambrato antico ossidato che sfuma nel terra di siena, leggermente velato. Naso caleidoscopico, alcolico e mutevole di bucce di mandarino candite, albicocca disidratata, uvetta sultanina, mela cotogna, zafferano, tamarindo, castagne lesse, liquirizia dolce, zuppa inglese, note iodate, sentori di vernice fresca e di ruggine.
  Bocca saportissima, succulenta, fresca, non particolarmente dolce, ma con un ampissimo spettro gustativo ed una spina acida viva e verace. Nel cavo orale, al tatto è denso, liquoroso, vellutato ma per nulla stucchevole. Il finale è veramente lunghissimo.
  Vino molto caratteristico e di eccellente complessità.
