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
