This was in our annual mystery wine allocation from Antica Terra. Classic Rhone nose, very youthful when we opened it. Very long finish. Cork and wine in great shape. Lots of sediment (should have decanted).

Drinking this at Villa Pattono in Piemonte, owned by the Riatti family. Gorgeous when we opened it, 94-95 points, vigorous fruit and tannins. After about an hour, it started falling apart, getting flabby. Other earlier notes suggested it was past its prime. Still lovely but drunk it quickly after opening!
