Dark ruby garnet with purple reflections and a subtly watery edge. A finely spiced nose of dark berries, ripe cherry and orange zest. Still quite restrained, but there's a touch of nougat in the background that emerges. The tightly meshed palate is juicy and complex, with a fine fruit sweetness and taut, well-integrated tannins. Sturdy and persistent, with a mineral finish, and secure ageing potential. A benchmark vintage with lots of tannin and plenty of acidity - in a word a textbook Italian experience.
