By the looks of it aged pretty much. Nose and palet also- cigar, leather, and balsamic steal the show. Acidity good but too far down for me. And not sure this one is really clean.

A beauty, darker than many, showing a deep purple-black color and offering up a rich palate of mature black and blue fruits, a touch of smoky leather and notes of allspice. Finishes long, tasty and balanced with silky tannins.

This wine went well with our pastas and was just fine to drink, but nothing special about it and way too oaky. There is still plenty of fruit and was best at the 2 hour mark, so let it breath if you open one. Drink now due to oak tannins.

Like bottled essence of Barolo - layers of cliché here and all the better for it. Impressive for such a young wine, straight out of the bottle this has a softer, more rounded edge to the palate with some sweetness coming through. Super fine grained tannins layered over sweeter cherries and red spectrum fruits. A touch of dry herbs on the finish - absolutely superb and a relative bargain.
