Sweet berry fruit, tobacco, English licorice, Heinz Ketchup. Creamy texture. Too sweet and dense for my taste, but it is undeniably a good wine. Fans of New World wines would probably score it more highly. Drink now - 2026.

Balsamic, nuts, cassis, plum, liqorice, forest floor. Nice, round fruit on the attack and mid-palate, smooth and velvety. This is fine and certainly fun to drink since it was among the first wines I’ve ever collected. That said, andI have to be honest, there’s nothing special here beyond a personal memory. Yet to form a final opinion on recent vintages but among the 04/05/06, I really think they hit a home run with the 04 .

Dark deep blue red. Dark blue and red fruit with some forest floor green notes dominate the nose. Palate is focused but little too narrow; some mineral notes but overall lighter than the nose and colour imply. Moderate finish. Not sure if this one is getting any better.

Colourist deep red. Nose very light, it was noticeable on decanting the second half of the magnum. The taste was plenty of rich dark fruit. Excellent wine

Slightly corked. Noticeable on the nose but not palate. Did not go away with air and time. Otherwise really ok, but ín my opinmion lacking some of the Bolgheri generousity I expect. Now more like a standard bordeaux-blend, could be from anywhere really..
