  Bought this one myself 25 years ago in Naples, Italy. Sat in my cellar since (ommercial storage with controlled temp and humidity at local wine store)
  Has become more refined with the loss of some tannin. Very full and silky. Still with lots of fruit- especially dark cherry. Drinking wonderfully after being open a day...glad I have some more in the cellar...

  Still a lot of fruit left but the wine has started to decline. The tannins are fully integrated and there is a good balance in the wine.
  It does need 30-60 min of air to open up, but when it does, it has elegance and depth with a lovely cherry fruit. Forest floor and wet leaves.
  Lovely wine.

  Awesome - class in a glass. Had this at a team Asado meal (great!) and this was perfect. Opened nicely after a quick decant, elegant nose of cherries and musty earty, mature palate, cherries, blackberries, leather, tar, spice. Sweet fine grain tannins almost fully resolved. Can go for 10 more years if you must, but no reason not to enjoy this beauty now.
