Initial aromas like an old chest of drawers - then sooty, earthy notes with dry sour cherries with menthol. After a few hours an Animale note. These old Italians have virtually zero fruit showing - all savouriness. Good length finishing with Medium minus tannins. No more cellaring required. This was No. 3822 of 13,333 bottles produced. I am not across all of the different Cuvées from the Produttori but have had good experiences with Rabaja and Asili.
