Really pretty and quaffable... lots of juicy black fruit with savoury, spice and incense notes. Great for the price and am not sure there's too much you can complain about. Reminds me a little of an Aglianico

May not have had a representative bottle as the cork was crumbly and the wine showed signs of bricking and tertiary elements than I would expect more from a 20 year old bottle than a 10 year old one. Had to be filtered into a decanter.
Still the wine showed fairly well and was soft and elegant, with red fruits intertwined with some savoury/saline mineral notes. A pretty wine that perhaps foretells the trajectory of a more well kept bottle? 92-93 for me

Probably the best btl I've had out of 4 or 5 from the same case, possibly because it had a good fill lvl. This was clean and fruit forward, with notes of dark cherry, plum, hawthorne and some iron filings and a touch of earth, bell pepper and cedar. Still juicy and very much alive, gaining weight and fruit with abt an hour of air. Last glass had juicy blackcurrant shining through
