Many years on and it gets even more stunning! Last of a 6-pack of one of their best vintages, popped the cork because i felt tense about years of bad apartment storage but it’s still got plenty in the tank. On my book, only a handful of super Tuscans can compare with this. Perfectly ripe black fruit on the nose, like a Margaux-style cab but with a subtle herbal-Mediterranean profile to it. Cassis, pencil shavings, rosemary-thyme-basil, hints of turned earth but super clean with zero rusticity, oak is fully integrated, barely there. Palate leads with great freshness, silky tannins, lingering acidity and finish

Nearing perfection. Just outstanding and so so elegant, it’s still got years to go. Menthol, cigar, balsamic notes a just a hint of fruit at the end. I wish i had more to hold

Very fruit forward. Jammy nose. Remarkable for a 20 year old wine
