Honorary Quintarelli Tasting (Copenhagen): It is quickly clear that there is another big wine in our glasses :-) Deep and intense nose that is pure and packed with young dark plum fruit and sweet cherries. The palate is still very young and compact filled with fresh cherry fruit and an impressive intensity and elegance with a very long aftertaste. There was some discussion about if this wine was as good as the 86R but to me it lacked some complexity to achieve the same level of perfection. But, still very impressive youthful flavors in such an old wine and I think that this wine will continue to improve over the next 5-10 years.
