Still a bit on the sweet side however with bottle age it turns a bit more interesting. Personally I like the 60anni better which shows more depth but in the last day of low temperatures for this period it was quite a comforting wine 😀.

2014 vintage on 20.2.18
This finaly starts coming together. Very well balanced nose with tobaco, leather, prums and cocoa.
Well structured in the mouth. Long finish.
