Side by side testing the 97 and 99...the 99 was much better with still a good tannic backbone and length. Both however were still very much alive.

End of plateau here. Tannins resolved and still some fruit on entry. We have lots of secondary flavors or leather mushroom and herbs. Just a joy to drink here.

Drink it now!!! This wine captures the very essence of a vintage Tuscany. So rich in flavours, tannins still alive and a long final note of glazed mandarin. Almost a meditation wine.
