Really quite beautiful now. Do love the Altero but was worried that this might be a bit aged at this point. Beautifully integrated and balanced. Opened up after just 10-15 minutes in the decanter.

Beautifully perfumed and silky textured mouthfeel, but this probably needs another few years. Tannins were still a bit too tightly wound to let the wine really shine. Will be holding the other vintages for longer.

Редкий случай когда от одного глотка понимаешь, почему так ценится то или иное вино. Безупречная структура, идеальное развитие, длительное послевкусие. Выпито в 2014 под тальятели с кроликом по-тоскански

Jammy and fruity. 12 years on drinking incredibly well.

Oak well-integrated. Tannins chewy but soft. Nice acidity. Probably could've waited a few more years.

I love this wine. Great fruit, tannin, good length, medium body on the 2004. Delicious.
