This was great. Tannins have subdued into their most elegant form without losing their rustic profile, integrated. Acidity is spot on, this is alive and well right now for its age. Dried shiitake, beef broth, leather, wet tobacco, muddled red and black fruits, blck pepper. Theres some wet earth too. Assuming its at least half Petite Syrah and all from Monte Rosso?? Great bottle.

Wow, 58 years old. Brick colored, a salty almost sherries sense, yet a freshness and still a sense of life. Cinnamon stick, dried herbs, still some juiciness.
