Flirting with perfection, this well aged beauty show luxury cigar, asphalt, tarry oak, chalky minerals and lovely, developed red and dark fruit flavors. Sweet, mouth coating tannins frame this wine revelation on the caressing finish.

No surprise that this wine can be mistook for Bordeaux, save for the lifted finish. Drinking nicely.

97 for this ‘97 near perfection from Antinori. Absolutely still beautiful fruits and complexity still wafting straight from the bottle. Magic!

Stunningly balanced, sophisticated and elegant. Subtle on the nose, round and substantial on the palate. Beautiful fruit, black currant, tobacco, some cigarbox. Great density with silky tannins. Long and lingering finish. My seventh bottle from a case on release - better each time with secondary and tertiary notes developing beautifully.

After decanting for 3 hours, this was full of flavor. Spice, Smokey with a hint of leather on the nose. Tart Cherry but bold fruit on the tongue. Finished with chocolate spice! Thankfully I have 5 more of these.
