  On the nose tertiary aromas such as barnyard and leather. some fruit still shines trough but rather shy.
  
  on the palate still vibrant but and an amazing freshness which comes from the highhigh acidity. medium tannins still present. medium body, medium lengthy finish.
  
  lots of sediment. nonetheless I would not recommend to decant this bottle, let it evolve in the glass.
  
  drink up.

  Beautiful Wine. Still bibragt fruit, but ofcourse also sogns og age. Om nose black currant , vanilla, middle eastern spices. Palate has nice acidic freshness, medium-tannin but fine and balanced. Could probably stay alive for several more years.

  We found a batch of these in a boutique store about a year ago (after having enjoyed this wine back in the day) and have been drinking them up. All of them have had crumbly corks and a lot of sediment. Perhaps this goes against wine drinking convention but I decanted the wine through a coffee filter to remove the sediment and pieces of cork. That process, and some time to breathe, yielded a terrific Tuscan wine. There is still fruit present, the tannins soft, and balanced alcohol. Lovely. I wouldn't hold these much longer. Drink up. But don't fear they are past it.

  This is a monolithic bottle. Mostly Cabernet character with Sangiovese savory tones and acidity coming through. Not nearly as enjoyable as previous bottles.
