  This is a dark purple clear colored wine. The nose and flavors are very varietal. The body is medium with a varietal intensity. The complexity is simple with a fleshy consistency. The tannins are still aggressive giving the wine an austere structure. This is a good wine that needs another decade in the cellar.

  Quick decant. Bright red cherries on the nose with roasted mushroom, sandalwood, and leather. Red plum palate with load of incense, white pepper, saddle leather, and iron flakes. Tobacco leaf and taut tannins on the finish with red fruit skns, red leather, and oak. Quite complex, with plenty of stuffing to age further.

  Interesting that the notes on this wine are underwhelming, yet this bottle yesterday was marvelous. A hint of brown in the glass, but on the nose sweet cherry and strawberry fused with mushroom and earth. It smelled perky and vibrant. The palate was alive with more of the same. Body was M-, but it had structure nonetheless. Wiry. Finish was M and pleasing. Best Italian I've had in a minute. Won't wait too long on the last bottle.

  Dark fruit, ripe, earthy and silky, but lacking structure. Might be time to drink up.
