Very nice wine, perfectly drinkable now, smell of leather, slighlty herbal, ceder, cherries, firm wine, still some ripe tannines which give a nice balanced structure and backbone, amazing how vital this wine still is, chocolaty and plummy aftertaste...93 points

Leather and tobacco assault my nose at first. And this is after having opened it two days ago. Good fruit, lots of tannins, will hold on to the other bottles for years.

Having just visited the Bolgheri region, it is wonderful to see a terrific example of a 10+ year wine. In a great spot now and should continue to improve.

Tasty, leathery, with minimal tannins. Solid sipper with years of life left
