15 years old but still so vibrant. It's the ultimate marriage between Pomerol and Tuscany, and it's just so great. Cruising on the plateau, but will stay here another 10 years.

bellissimo colore ma non perfettamente trasparente, errore mio che dalla cantina non l'ho fatto riposare.. Il naso apre a note boisee un po' troppo marcate.. Troppa fretta!... Lascio respirare e stabilizzare...
I profumi ora sono carichi di spezie dolci, tabacco e cannella , anice stellato, Mon cheri , scorze d'arancia con cioccolato, arancia sanguinella..in bocca avvolgente, succoso per freschezza , tannino morbido e stuzzicante... E poi lungo lungo.. Radice di liquirizia..

Deep ruby core with bricking at the rim. Dark fruits, mocha, spice and still slightly tannic but fruit has begun to fade. Probably a year or 2 past peak for me but still drinking very well
