- Purple color. It's lacking fruit with a medium body. Round texture with a short finish - I did not like this too much. Double filtered and still too much sediment giving off some off bitter notes. Still concentrated with fruits, but medium weight and short balance!

- Violet color with a full body. Leathery texture with a long finish - A very intense fine, good structure in terms of tannin, acidity n fruits. Still green n can cellar for 3-5 years. No sign of ageing. Heavy wine, not light at all.

This is past getting any better and is definitely in decline. The prune like fruit is secondary to vegetal (asparagus?) and earthy notes. There are glimpses of red fruit on occasion. It really needed 40 minutes of air as some of the secondary aromas were off-putting. The wine is of a sweeter style but still has a touch of acid and tannin to help balance. Was enjoyable enough to experience at this stage but no need to revisit again. This wine was bought upon release and correctly cellared for its lifetime for reference's sake.

great depth and balance, by far the best edizione made. all the later one's edition six, seven, eight and nine are getting too sweat and overly plump.
