Last bottle. Bought a case of this a while back. Someone really needs to give me pointers as to how to refrain from depleting my wine cooler. As you may know, I love this winemaker. The 2012 is a bit more rigid than the 2010, but it's still dynamite. This bottle clearly could have been left alone for a long while. There is a hint of spruce on the very top of the nose which rapidly gives way to cocoa, coffee, faint vanilla, and a hint of cherry. On the palate, the chocolate persists (mix with tea and tobacco) nicely and ends with still quite firm tannins. Medium long finish. Other Ciacci wines with a little age have been better, but this is still an excellent bottle of wine. 93 points

Концентрированно, сочно, жарко и одновременно сложно. Нос сдержанный: пыльца, дым, железо, лакокраска, сушеная черника, сандал. Во вкусе ликерная вишня, темная слива, лакрица. Статно, но настолько жарко, что насладиться им как следует не получается.
