Drinking very well right now and should continue for another 4-5 years if well kept. Excellent typicity for Taurasi without going too far in direction of high alcohol and excessive extraction. The volcanic character, resulting in a lighter wine with good balance, still comes through. Hue appropriate for its age.Good acidity. Very good complexity and length.

Final of 3 bottles. Not sure if it was bottle variation or the 7 months since the last bottle, but the fruit has faded, although the structure is still largely intact. This was especially noticeable on the second day. Always a bit better with food than without, this was all the more so at this point. Without knowing whether bottle variation or end of the line, I'd say that if you have this, drink it yesterday, preferably with food. 90+ first night, 88-89 second day.

Gracefully aged. Balaned but on decline.
