  I continue to be amazed at the longevity of Leonetti wines. Beautiful classic brick in color. Lovely, silky and warm on the palette with bouquet of cassis, cedar box, tobacco and cocoa.
  
  I would recommend decanting as it has thrown a fair amount of sediment. I wouldn't aerate or let breath too long though. I let breath in the glass 20 minutes before drinking.

  Red cherry cough syrup, there is a pronounced American oak note, combined with savory tones from age and you’d think this wa stripe vintage Spanish rioja. It’s not an insult, but just that typicity is hard with this one. Bright acid, ripe polished red and black fruit. Great minerality

  Nice nose, not as full as previous bottle. Past prime but still fresh fruit. Tannins fully integrated. Finish is moderate. Very enjoyable at 20 years.
