I think this may be my first 10 point wine. It's also the first of my girls wines I've had that are more than 5 years old. Surprisingly Burgundian in its structure, this cerasuolo di vittoria took on more mushroom and earthy notes than I thought it would have. The acid stood up to the test of time. Such a treat!
