  A: med garnet, lots of bricking
  N: earth, mushroom, ripe red mature cherry and strawberry, smoke, sweet tabac, dried herbs, smoke
  P: dry, high acidity, high fully integrated smooth tannins, med (+) body, 14.5% ABV
  C: outstanding = perfectly balanced fruit and perfect tannins, pronounced complexity, med (+) intensity, pronounced concentration, long finish on mature red cherry and tertiary notes. Elegant, powerful, full range of primary-tertiary, perfect structure, absolutely fantastic. Drink now, at its peak. Wish I had more of this!

  Comprehensive Tenuta delle Terre Nere (Chicago, IL): Desiccated and drying out, with the fruit showing quite pruney. Par for the course for the older Terre Neres today.

  Packed with warm strawberry fruit but is also some age with scorched earth and mushrooms. There is a beautiful depth of flavor and a solid acidity leaving a med-long aftertaste.
  The tannins are almost fully resolved and the wine appears to be fully mature. I would recommend drinking this in the next few years while it still has a touch of fruit left.
  A lovely and expressive wine! Loved it! From MG

  Don't know how to describe this exactly. The bottle wasn't off but it didn't taste right. Bricking. Sweet but no fruit, almost a touch syrupy. That said, everyone who had some finished their glass so it was drinkable. Just not what I was expecting. With 3 more bottles remaining, I will withhold judgment. Maybe just a weird bottle.

  Medium-heavy bodied, ruby red. Full fruit -- dark cherries, blackberries, forest floor. Well-stuctured with a long finish. This was a very full, rich wine, and could have lasted for another couple of years. Delicious.
