Good example of mature wine. Pop and pour. First nose is really nice. Earth, mature red cherries, multing leaves, raw tobacco. Don't sip too long. The bouquet die a bit too fast. The taste is good. Balanced acidity, tannins still alive and quit soft, dropped a bit i fruit. If you like mature wine, enjoy! Drink up.

Well, this is nice. Earthy cherry & strawberry, still nicely tannic, missing a little acidity perhaps. After a supermarket Chilean Cabernet, this tasted like a First Growth, a genuine baby Brunello.

In Abu Dhabi, with chicken satay and other unsuitable accompaniments. Still very good for the price of admission, especially on day 2 after a night in the fridge.

Starting to show it's age, orange rim, but still has an aged Sangiovese nose of sour cherries. Good length, cherries and a bit of leather. Time to start drinking up.

Brick coloured, dry, high acidity, feels a little over the peak. Bottle variation? Drink up.
