At ten years old, this is hitting its stride. Open, friendly but still authentic and lively, this Classico went very nicely with homemade ravioli on Christmas Eve.

For me, this is in a good place. Fully mature. Acids and tannins softening. Delightful.

Fantastic CCR! Still has years to go. Cherry, sappy, damp earth, dusty tannins. Fairly rich. Long finish.
