Had it June 2013.
Powerful, complex, fleshy, fantastic tannin, but for my personal taste is lacking a bit of freshness. Anyway a well balanced wine that will hold for few more years.

1997 vintage. Dark ruby hue. Tight on the nose. Dark chocolate and dark cherry, furniture polish. On the palate, bit woody and flat. Medium acidity, full body, high alcohol and medium finish. Disappointing on the palate. Might be slightly flawed bottle.

Nice body, smooth with a sparkle of acidity at the end. SuperTuscan.
