Saturday, September 3, 2016 - Undeniably delicious and drinking amazingly well given the age. I mean, the tannins are incredible! So smooth and silky that you barely even notice they're there! Structure and texture are impeccable. Flavours of dark cherry and chocolate. A modern-style wine for sure. Alcohol is noticeable at 14.5% but not too bad. I find it really lacks personality though. Whilst technically great, the flavours do not lift it out of the crowd enough to justify the price (60 CHF).

I tasted this vintage a year ago and what I found surprising was the velvety of the tannins. I've never had such an experience with a young Saffredi. By the way, the 2007 is a stunner, if you have the opportunity try it out!
