The color is dark and perfect, only a slight initial orange. Poured into glasses from Barolo and not decanted. Just poured feels an obvious smell of Marsala, that fades very slowly. After three hours is almost completely disappeared completely in the nose and mouth where it reveals a wine of exceptional finesse. After four hours is pretty much perfect to drink. Excellent balance of notes buds with the power and the body of the wine.

Tappo perfetto intriso solo nella prima parte e ben morbido. Colore profondo, aroma deciso con richiamo di frutti di bosco maturi. In bocca è perfetto nella parabola di invecchiamento e richiama subito una decisa sensazione di potenza. Richiama una decisa nota di mirtilli e di cioccolato. Buona la durata finale. La nota di estrema potenza lo fa quasi un vino da masticare. Perfect cap soaked in the first part, well soft. Deep color, aroma with hints of ripe berries. In the mouth is perfect in the parable of aging and immediately brings a strong sense of power. Recall a strong touch of blueberry and chocolate. Good expiration date. The note of extreme power makes it almost a wine gum.

Open two hours before. The cap is soaked up by little more than half. It was opened two hours before, but not decanted. The choice was not right. In the glass does not develop virtually aromas and in the mouth the tannins are too harsh. In the glass after about an hour the smell does not improve, while the apore assumes, albeit in a subtle, a note of typicality.
