  Comprehensive Tenuta delle Terre Nere (Chicago, IL): I think this aged even less well than the 2008; the fruit is clearly riper but you get pruney tones instead. Doesn't come off as oxidized or cooked though. Drink sooner than later.

  Opened about 4 hours before bringing it to a restaurant for dinner.
  Upon opening this showed immediately intense fruit aromas (raspberries), but also some spices from the wood. Later, at the restaurant, the wood had been largely absorbed, and the fruit had become less prominent, while some more mature aromas and a nice complexity were emerging. On the palate it was nicely balanced, and not at all dominated by acidity as some notes below indicate. Structurally, I would define it as chocolatey and quiet, but without any heaviness, some sort of a quiet leanness supported by largely integrated, but still present tannins. In a very good place right now, and very far from decaying.

  Wine Pages Giro d’Italia Offline at 67PM (67 Pall Mall): I’ve not had either this specific vineyard of Terre Nere or one of their wines with this much age.
  Quite a lot of VA on the nose.
  Palate is initially really lovely - dried plum, Asian spice -but ends pretty abruptly with a very dry / bitter finish.
  Not sure whether this is driven by the bottle or that 13 years is pushing it for these wines

  The last and best of these bottles. Amazing wine. Excellent with xmas dinner. Crowd preferred 12 Keenan Cab but this was the hidden gem.

  Light bricking red crimson
  Super tempting aromas of sour cherry, pressed flowers (red and blue) and crushed rocks. Very much a sense of place with its volcanic soil notes.
  This lightweight wine has a juicy, buoyant entry with good flavour intensity, a vibrant acid tinged with mineral elements and filled with sour cherries. The finish is long, narrow with cherry stone and fine yet slightly puckering tannins. Beautifully balanced and eminently drinkable, this is a charming, delicate wine.
