Tuscan wines - dinner/tasting with fellow enthusiasts. (Maceda Restaurant - Varna): Nice overall balance, medium weight, you can sense that there is promise, but it did not make it that night, stayed muted. Reported excellent the next day, while Nipozzano never came back. So great vintages need time, and Antinori knows how to make balance and age worthy wines. Bought on release from Italy €10, now I see retails @ 20.

Very dark color. Nose is very muted - leather, spices, licorice. Powerful in the mouth, with some spices, leather. There was some dark red fruit, but really had to search for it. Nice texture, well balanced. Just wish it had more fruit. Perhaps past its prime.

Very nice fruit, a mix of cherry and plum. Classic Vino Nobile.

A very good bottle. Classic aroma of cherry, herbs and some leather. Cherry on the palate, some tannins. Excellent QPR.
