Much more open and giving than anticipated. Classic barolo notes: goudron, roses and sweet fruit. Tannin is obviously there, but no problem when paired with food. A real treat.

Delicious. Maintains a real sense of place - that is there is an identifiable tuscan-ness about it, and the sangiovese is not dominated by the merlot. A pleasure.

Not terribly impressed. Is this really a relation of the '98 pergole torte? Chalk it up to the vintage I suppose.
