1997. Lush, full, and relaxed. A dense fruitcake with exotic spice and dried herbal notes. Balanced and centered - would be a great with streak, bbq, even Peking duck.

Bright garnet color, fairly dense. Intense and ripe red fruit, bit of leather, touch of spice and dried leaves. Full body, shows all the hallmarks of a warm vintage, but leaves me wanting more complexity on the palate. Long finish. Drink now.

Awesome black fruits, ash and leather. Completely integrated with full tertiaries peaking through. Can't imagine it peaking more than it is now- drink it!

A wonderful example of how supertuscans used to be at the end of the 1990s. Unfortunately the owner had the style changed to more power and extract - and less aging potential. So I have memories of a time when patience was rewarded while enjoying this beautiful Cabernet-Sangiovese blend in perfect drinking age. Unfortunately my last bottle, bought in October 2000 at the estate for 39,000 Lira a bottle.
