  I had two bottles of this wine - it is a ‘value’ super tuscan and you know, what the hell. The first one I opened about 3 years ago at 7 years of age, and it was pretty blah. A bit thin and tannic, very little fruit evident and a little too much of the green pepper notes on the nose to be enjoyable.
  
  Fast forward to my last bottle at 10 years of age, and it is a completely different wine. Still a little of the green pepper, but at a level that it is a feature instead of a flaw, but also some forest floor, and some resiny and piney notes. The nose was complex and interesting. Tannins were very tame and acidity was medium. Long lingering finish. I tasted it over three nights with a vacu-vin in between and it gets better every night. I’m beginning to think that with Italian wines it is very hard to give them too much air.

  This is showing much better now than before. The drabness is gone and the tannins have eased up. Still doesn't have much fruit to show, but the dryness is now very nice and not overbearing. A pretty solid weekday food wine, if one had the patience to wait on it. Not something I'd seek out again though.
