  Last of 3 bottles. Black/red color. Dried cherry, tobacco, red currants and green pepper on nose. Medium body, medium+ acidity and fine tannins - flavor consistent with nose. Nice, precise wine. 92-93 range. Would buy more recent vinttages - has aged very well.

  Dark color. Smoky, peppery nose, with cassis, leather, licorice. Quite powerful and plenty of tannins, good structure. Medium length. Ready to drink but no hurry.

  A classic old-school Italian cab. Prominent earth tones, coffee, currant, cedar, graphite with subtle anise and a spicy finish. Intriguing wine with plenty of life left in it.

  Decanted for 1.5 hours and paired with grilled Ribeye on the bone.
  
  Black in the glass. Rosemary, herbs, black currants and sweet cherry on the nose. On palate, cassis, black currants, tobacco and herbs. Medium tannins, high acidity and very long finish. This was noticeably better with food. This wine will age very well and it has improved since my last tasting 2 years ago. This needs a decant so a pop & pour without food is not the way to go at this stage of this wine's evolution. 93
  
  Will buy some more recent vintages to age.
