...It starts off with a sassy, playful personality thanks to ripe cherry and forest fruit. The complexity of the bouquet builds steadily to include mineral, herbs, anisette and dark clay. The chiseled mineral tones at the back are outstanding. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2030. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

1.5L bottle served side-by-side to the Pian Del Ciampolo. Splash decanted and returned to the bottle prior to serving. This was obviously the more modern of the two with darker fruit and pronounced baking spices. More round and full than the PdC. Yet, this was divine and a fantastic comparison...so much fun actually. Anyone that might balk at the modernity would be making a serious error. This is an honest wine that is beautifully made. Drink now or over the next ten years.

Checking in on this bottle tonight, it's been a little over three years (37 mo) since our last taste. It will be paired with a beautiful Bolognese sauce which has been gently cooking for most of the day. I'm not sure which I'm more excited for tonight.

Piccolo frutto fresco di colore rosso condito da pungenze sempre misurate di spezie e smaltate. Al palato colpisce la completezza del vino in tutte le sue componenti.
