Medium to full bodied, this one definitely got better and better as the meal progressed. Fairly well balanced if a bit acidic, a nice balance of bright fruit and dark earth.

Strong nose of ink and funk... must let it decant, gets better with time. Slightly tart, orange notes, and saddle leather on the palate. Overall it lacks complexity, but a good bottle of wine.

Definitely need to decant. Started off bone dry and quite tart. Ended up softening with a long finish. Paired really well with food.

We bought this in Italy at a small store in Stressa called La Cambusa. It's a great find!

Alert! Drink your 2004 now! I'm sure it will hold for awhile longer but I think it was mellow and lovely with a winter meal in 2015.
