  Gorgeous again. Notes of blackberry, blueberry and raspberry. Good structure, with layers and long finish. 91-93.

  Gorgeous, with superb balance and notes of rose, blackberry, raspberry and blueberry. Layered, with a long finish. Incredible QPR!

  Magnum - excellent aged wine - bottle and fill excellent, the cork had black fungus on top and was solid, extracted in one piece. Wine was decanted. Considerable bottle funk requiring at least 2 hours to clear, the wine became more vivid and beautiful with time. Earth, leaves, leather and spice, perfect with pastas - tomato based and Guanicale. Should keep (especially in large format), but not likely to get better

  Exceptional wine. Bottle condition and fill excellent. Cork looked somewhat newer, slipped out easily and was spongy feeling, but bore the 1985 vintage imprint. A few fingers of wine had extended to the top of the cork. Popped and poured and enjoyed with steak. Dark ruby / garnet color with watery disc. Initially this seemed bland and lifeless with little tannic structure, but what a transformation over the next 3 hours. The phoenix-like tannins arose from a seemingly tired wine and a beautiful bouquet emerged. Lovely earthy tuscan nose with herbal, floral and leather notes. It continued to evolve and please. I have had mixed experiences with older Tuscan wines, but this wine is outstanding.
