This wine is still so fresh and approachable with beautiful acidity and delicate tannins. I was very worried that this would be past it’s prime but it’s drinking beautifully and I wish this wasn’t my last bottle. The nose is full of black forest fruit and spice with a dark earthy finish and acidic/mineral balance.

Wow, von Anfang an präsent im Glas, keinerlei Alterserscheinung. In der Nase duftend, blumig, würzig, etwas Brombeere. Im Mund weich, harmonisch, Säure gut eingebunden. etwas Eiche Tabak, Röstaromen, Schöner Abgang. Toll.

In the 3 years since I last opened a bottle, I think that the wine has integrated further and has become more classically seamless. There was sweeter fruit in 2000 than often and therefore less Tuscan specificity. However, this is a very attractive wine combining gracious fruit of some depth, underlying roundness, minerals, hints of forest floor, fresh acidity and firm finish into a harmonious whole. I got none of the varnish notes which I found before. Very good.

Fantastic bottle of wine from one of the absolute best wineries in the world... not a great vintage but this 3.0 liter bottle was on point with mouthwatering acidity and a rich, smooth blast of fruit that was a complete show stopper. Loved this

Very alive, good acid, remarkably balanced. Shows much younger than its age. Stunning example!
