Big and viscous, but with a little time it turned to supple and fruit reduction.

Still exceptional. I wince as I post it knowing cmac is out there. Don’t worry, there is one more in the cellar from Francia and one from Cerretta.

Just a delicious bottle of wine. Medium bodied, balanced fruit, with good acidity. Great now, but no rush to drink.
