Don’t drink this wine it is fully closed. Believe or not a client ordered this and left this and left half as bottle for us. Outstanding wine but not showing well, going through a closed patch.

Still a baby and I’d give it another saved at least. There’s the chance that the acid may fade so its a little bit of a crapshoot it’s going to stay balanced.

This is a brilliant wine. Lots of tannins- not completely resolved - thanks a wine has tons of life left. Some barnyard , Dark fruit and a hint of cedar in the nose. Well balanced and a super long finish. A real treat to drink. Boom.

Very nice. Doesn’t ring out as Italian, but definitely a nice well aged wine.
