At 21 years, we've certainly shed the jammy plum, red berry and vanilla notes present in our last bottle 15-18 years ago. Dried plum, blackberry, mahogany, cocoa powder and moist clay pot, fill your nose. Dried plum, ripe blackberry, dried black cherry, tart plum skin and dry potting soil notes round out a medium length finish. Decanted 2H with continued improvement.
Certainly less interesting wines to drink on a Tuesday night, but why settle?

Drank the 2001 with Brisket for Festa di San Giuseppe. Big for a Chianti, drinks like a Cabernet.
