  The fruit was still evident, but had mellowed. Some eucaplytus and spice on the palate as well. The tannins were completely rounded. It was a nice bottle of wine, although clearly a bit less than its sisters were as consumed over the years. 89 points

  A: Very orange and clear. Some soapy like substance on the top of the wine.
  N: Smokey macerated strawberry, cinnamon vanilla cupcake. Strawberry rhubarb pie.
  T: Tart berries lighter than the nose. Not a lot of tannins but enough.
  F: Long blueberry and red apple skin. Woodsy
  Overall: Little bitter at first. Really opened up with time. First real old Biale we have had. Absolutely beautiful.
  V: 4/5
