The nose was still not giving much after 3 hours. The palate though was creamy black cherry, dried mushrooms, spices and rock. The finish was not too tannic.
Still developing but the nose needs to put on a bit of weight.

Decanted for 2 hours before drinking. I am disappointed too often by Italian wines. Another reviewer of this wine mentioned "dusty sandy tannins" and those words seemed to accurately describe what I experienced. I have one bottle left of the 2014 and multiple bottles of the 2015. Hopefully I will find some consistency in my Italian searches.
Light and fine boned, approachable already although it’s not developed the aromatic complexity of a mature wine yet. Good balance, and great at the table now, on its own there’s some fine tannins at the finish which are a little drying

Always a terrific bottle, one of the most consistent vintages for PdB this past decade. Beautiful violet, saucisson, medicinal herbs, dark cherry fruit. As others have noted, this doesn't knock your socks off, but it does have quite intense acidity and is elevated by food.
