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.

Feels like it should have been decanted. Will try another sip in an hour.
