Opened tonight at a Gaja wine dinner led by Giovanni Gaja. Some slight bricking, but still lots of fruit and tannin. Tasted like an older Brunello - predominantly Sangiovese, unlike more recent Promis blends. A real treat. Several (including Guovanni) remarked that it was first time they had laid eyes upon this wine.

Initially nice leather, smoke, chocolate, and Bing cherry to both aroma and taste. Smooth, no alcoholic heat, and nice finish. After an hour or so open a lot of the initial characteristics has faded to more mineral and slightly sour cherry. While good, not great.

Joli vin.
S'exprime après 2 heures de carafe.
Semble très jeune. Ne parait absolument pas ses 17 ans.
Aucune urgence à le déguster.
