Re-tasted after longer than 10 years
I had a great memory and it hasn't disappointed me at all
Still keeping all the primary fruit, but adding layers of complexity
Very persistent
One of the few bottles from the vintage 2002 in Italy that really shines.... I recall an extraordinary Monfortino 2002, but not much more
First vintage nonetheless of 100% cabernet franc
Bordeaux in Tuscany
I love it

Paleo is kind of my spdcusl house wine. This is a minor vintage but still oozes class and elegance.
