  Decanted for three hours. Cherry and fig overtones. Not a big finish.

  A difficult wine to describe precisely. In some ways, it is very Italian. There is a good dose of acidity and herbs to go along with fruit that is fairly fresh, and even a bit of leather. However, the fruit is darker than sangio-based wines, and the spice is just a little different as well. This was good, but didn't quite have the oomph for me to say it was excellent.

  Seven hours breathing brought her to the dance floor in a flowing red-purple frock, mature fruit and dry herbal aroma and elegant tannins finishing with a long, memorable flurry. Luvly...good night...

  Exciting wine. Reminds me of Northern Rhone. Lots of game, flowers, and spice on the nose. Douro violets. Dense, medium-ripe, tomato-like fruit. Still strong tannins on the finish. Massive wine.
