no decant; 18c; clean, burnished-purple; intense animal nose--barn, wet hide--stewed plums, black pepper, mint, sage; silken viscosity on the tongue, plush fruit, lingering finish; bacon, crates of ripe plums, cloves, sage, mint, black licorice, black pepper, caramel, cedar; a deep dive into a sublime universe of flavors and sensations; (rest of bottle next day delivers yet more tertiary mystery); 19.5

Catching some of the Southern Italian Soul; 9/4/2014-9/7/2014 (Napoli-Italia): Pairing very good grilled red meat dishes at restaurant Abraxas, nearby Naples. Decanted for two hours. Absolutely mandatory. Some elegance. Very aromatic. Mineral also. Long and rounded. Despite I'm not an Allegrini fan, really liked it and I think it worths its price. Have potential and a good frame enough to run many years.
Maridando unos buenos platos de carne a la brasa en el restaurante Abraxas, cerca de Nápoles. Decantada por dos horas. Totalmente imprescindible. Algo de elegancia. Muy aromático. También mineral. Largo y redondo. A pesar de que no soy un fan de los Allegrini, realmente me gustó y creo que merece pagar su precio. Tiene potencial y estructura para aguantar varios años.

So much better now than last time I had it. It just needed time.

Maybe slightly passed its prime. Dark and full, somewhat raisiny which makes the food pairing challenging
