Pretty amazing bottle - 11 years out from the vintage, seven years from my purchase. Slumbering away, forgotten in the cellar. Dark red color, floral and slightly cherry licorice nose. Smooth palate with some sour cherry, acidity that is in bounds and finish that goes down easy. No sign of aging beyond the svelte palate. All good and enjoyable.

Pretty much the same review as I gave in 5/2007. How could 2 years make such a little difference. Decidedly better on Day 2. I think I have one more, and it's going away for a while.
By the way, decent bottle. A nice Italian palate of flavors.

Really fantastic wine at the price; complex, lots of herbal and other notes, great depth and persistence on the palate.
