Still strutting its stuff with some earthy dark cherry and moderate oak notes. Tannic grip still apparent with the cherry. Great stuff!

Интенсивный, чуть даже парфюмированный аромат, экзотические фрукты, личи, маракуйя, мускус, замша. Очень необычно и странно но не плохо. Вкус полный, с экзотикой, суховатые танины, баланс. Интересно было бы посмотреть в развитии. 16/20 (90/100)

Raisin, chocolate, cherry. Air lightened considerably and made it more elegant — more cherry (pits), almonds, perhaps some rose. 92.

Not too young, not too old. Well balanced trio: a vanilla, cherry and smooth leather. Tannic in a way I like.

Really started to shine 2-3 hrs in, very tight out of the chute, eventually showed gorgeous cherry, rose hips & crushed flowers, some asphalt, slight lift, minerals & sweet spice - big rigid tannins - blind I might have mistaken for Barolo... recall this being a pretty good vintage w/long life ahead (purchased in Montalcino)
