Sweet tobacco nose. Initially massive acid and a juicy cherry middle. Yum!

Like this wine a lot, because it shows impeccable balance, lovely concentration of dark fruit, and wonderful precision in its herbal, savoury and mineral personality.
Drink now, or in the following 5 years.
Highly recommended.

Black cherry, smoke, balsam, soft tannines and acidity. Bigger, modern style of Chianti, lush, strong. Just entering its drinking window. Wonderful wine, which is starting to unfurl some 2 hours after opening.

1999 vintage. What's the right age for drinking a riserva from a good vintage? Inconclusive here. There's certainly an attractive aged component , but it seems out of character.
