  A blend of Corvina (40%), Corvinone (30%), Rondinella (25%) and Sangiovese (5%)
  
  One of three Italians drunk in relatively quick succession - the other two Mascarello's 2012 Barbera Scudetto, and Fossacolle's 2011 Brunello.
  
  Of these three the 95 Palazzo the best by a clear mile. Maturity helps, but more importantly a real feeling of typicity and sense of terroir and sensible alcohol of 13% compared to the 15% for this Fossacolle and 14.5 for the Scudetto.
  
  Will this is certainly mature it seems to be on a very very gentle decline. Delicious with food.

  Due to it's age this was pop'n'poured, the cork could easily be extracted with a pulltap corkscrew,1/3 of it is soaked through, though, ruby red colour, smells of smoke and cigar box, light body, has more residual sugar than I personally like, in the mouth acidity and smoke, short finish with blackberry, I poured the last glass through a tea filter, there was quite a lot of deposit in the filter afterwards, a nice wine, but way too old

  Dark red in color. Tar, prunes, and anise. A wine that got a lot nicer with air. Needs a bit of getting used to. Almost Amarone in style. Needs time.
