This wine was a gift from my great friend Lorenzo who knows my tastes in wine very well. It's almost as dense as someone we used to work with, which is good for a wine. This 2008 is right at its peak and has deep rich dark fruit, oak that culminates to a very smooth finish. Lorenzo I wish you and your wife were here to enjoy it with us this weekend. Cheers my friend.
