Spectacular wine that has tons of life left. I am amazed at how youthful this wine is despite the 19 years it has under its belt. The color has not diminished one bit, there are some cedar/redwood notes that are a bit more prominent than when it was first made, but still tons of fruit. The cork was completely saturated and crumbled to pieces on removal, but the wax cap luckily kept everything in good shape.

A bit "meh" to be honest. Not a *bad* wine, but I clearly just can't find an Italian wine I really like.
