Showing its age, but still has a strong basso profundo going on. Almost an Amarone in the nose, with profound wrappy tannins and a finish that goes for days. First fell in love with this wine at Buca on King St. in Toronto. Continue to love it today. Paired with homemade lasagna from the neighbors.

Granato profondo, vivo, austero. Viola e geranio, confettura di mora, marasca sotto spirito, alloro, soffi affumicati, spezie piccanti e decise note tostate di cacao e caffè. Maturo e potente, di notevole persistenza con ritorni fruttati e speziati.

Decanted for 1 hour. Beautiful on the nose with incense, tobacco, subtle oak and vanilla. On the palate, this is full bodied, highly acidic, harsh tannins and a bit too hot with medium aftertaste. The 15,5% alc is easily noticeable. Very good, but this doesn't deserve the 3B...Gambero Rosso and I still have some issues. Good wine, but way overpriced. 89+

Nose: cherry, plum, leather. Taste: deep, with firm tannins. Good accompaniment for meat.
