  Very vibrant nose is chocolate, candieda citrus and tobacco. The palette, however, was a little tired. Not completely gone, but definitely out of balance. Pretty good, but I was a year or two late.

  Opened this tonight to celebrate the 2012 Summer Olympic Games. Used a bottle neck screener/pourer/stopper into my vinturi into a bulbous handled pour spout pitcher. WOW! What a deep color and nose of dark earthy fruits. Perfectly balanced super Tuscan blend. Other notes and comments said drink by 2011 but this is a GAJA wine! Silky smooth tannins, like a Brunello but this is Merlot, Syrah and Sangiovese. I have had the pleasure of trying all of the GAJA wines and for value and quality, CA'MARCANDA PROMIS is a winner, I will now search for more. 2002 and 10 years old! Life is good. Find it, buy it, try it! You will NOT be disappointed!

  4/28/2012 - colmanstephenson Likes this wine:

  This turned out to be meaty and serious.
  
  Nose: More aromatic and youthful then I expected
  
  But mature on the palatte. Yum

  I am very unsatisfied that it was my last bottle, now I understood how outstanding it was, nose with dark fruits, very long with nice tannins, still well balanced
