Lovely, complex, highly mature bouquet, showing its earthy side. The palate is fine, but a touch hard and dry to really elevate. Still, very tasty and we happily finished the bottle. Really only disappointing in comparison to how sensational Percarlo can be, especially the 85 and 89.

Mostly black fruit driven, where the Grosso Sanese shows red fruit. Medium expressive nose displaying black cherry, tar, leather and fruitcake. Excellent concentration, slightly dry black fruit driven palate impression, good acidity and medium long finish. Very good wine.

A great Italian evening in Belgium: Beautiful bouquet with autumn forest, earth, minerals and pleasant barnyard. On the palate coffee, chocolate and mocha, good acidity, bitters and tannin which still has a good bite.

Did not make notes on this wine. Dark, intense and round. Outstanding wine, but not necessarily true to place. Could easily be confused for a garagiste Bordeaux.

Italian night @ Stappato (Enoteca Stappato, Leuven (Belgium)): Deep and dark, coffe, chocolate, plumcake, sticky dates. This is a great wine, creamy truffle notes, beefstew, still very juicy and charming.
