Cracked open for family bday party - really expected a tired, faded bottle, but WOW, instead it was gorgeous. Lively acids and a rich nose of black cherries and forest floor. Truffles, coffee, leather and tobacco, with a great finish. Totally blew my expectations.

A very nice complex wine. It is obvious that this wine has had some time to age. The bouquet has a rustic feel with dark cherry, mocha, and spice. On the palate there are rich flavors of blackberries and aged oak. A nice long dry finish. Excellent with lasagne. Buon appetito!

Very intense color, dark - almost opaque, deep garnet with a small brick rim. Very intense bouquet, floral, cherry pie and leather. Balanced palate, currant and cherry, dark chocolate, meat and herb. Long supple finish. Very well made, especially for the vintage.

Very nice. Better than some Brunellos. Stored since release/purchase in a passive cellar.
