Not great expectations for this bottle, but I'm so happy when the wine proves me wrong. Drank next to Brunello Banfi 2004, and it was not at all behind, some guys on the table even prefer it thanks to the bright dark cherry fruit, that was still evident. I find this bottle just before the maturation stage, which was a surprise, cause I had some Asinone from the same vintage that was rather advanced in maturation... However very good bottle with charming fruit and silky body, will be happy if I discover more from this one.

En otroligt positiv överraskning. En väldigt fin frukt, början till mognadstoner med lite stall och mull, tjära och en aning kärnbeska. Väldigt fin frukt även i smaken, silkiga tanniner och en syra i fin balans med frukten. Lite tunt i eftersmaken men väldigt gott och tillgängligt.

Blood red; earthy, rustic, tarry; tannic, rugged developed capsicum overtones; astringent finish. Drink soon before fruit disappears?
