...and more..
Quite young still to unknot himself
Definitely a muscular wine
Long and delicious
Decanted for a couple of hours and i bet it'd get better after 6 or 7 too.

Medium intensity on the nose with aromas of plum, dried black fruit, clean but wet earth, clove and vanilla. Medium body. Medium plus acidity. Medium tannins, very smooth and drying palate on the finish. Dried black fruit, blackberry and a hint of mushroom. Long finish. Really enjoyed!!!!

This 2008 was a real treat to try. Dusty and musty, like an old library book. Floral arrangements mixed with dark earth, black cherries, and lots of spice. Jill said: "tastes like Hogwarts." Spot on.

It needs time to open up but then it shows off like a peacock
Fruit, balsamic, earthy, spiced, herbs and lots more.
To consider this just a Chianti is not fair. It will live for decades❤️❤️❤️
