From a friend's cellar...thought this might be over the hill but was surprised by how nicely drinkable this was. Good expressive nose, soft but generous enough midpalate of dried red fruits leading to a satisfying finish that went well with our meal of grilled steak,grilled asparagus, quinoa prepared in a light Indian curry style w/homemade chicken broth and parsnips.

Granato di bella luminosità. Al naso amarena, viola appassita, tabacco virginia, chiodi di garofano, cuoio, menta, sottobosco, note ematiche. Bocca intensa, sapida, rigorosa e piacevolmente fruttata. Non lunghissimo, ma di grande eleganza.

RED BROWN ON THE EDGE, DARK BERRY FRUIT IN THE NOSE WITH HINTS OF SPICE AND EARTHINESS. BLACKBERRIES AND BLACK CHERRIES IN THE FLAVOR. NICE COMPLEXITY AND A MEDIUM TO LONG FINISH.

Decanted 3 hours, needed more. Youthful purple in the glass. Closed nose, eventually opened up. Nose of raspberries, with wildflowers, rose petals and menthol. Sour cherries on the palate, with cassis, cedar and gravel.

On the downslope, with hints of balsamic creeping in around the fruit. Still a mighty nice bottle, regardless.
