Yes the tannins are still there. And yes this is still a massive, brooding giant. But, the years in bottle have done their work... the wine’s acidity works perfectly in removing most of the viscous, oily mouthfeel and the result is magic. The wine “moves” in the mouth as my European friends are wont to put it. Every swallow is an adventure. Perfect with pancetta wrapped braised lamb loin.

Never tried this one before. Great wine. Strong but very well rounded. Something completely different to typical Italian wines.
