Was gifted this by a guest earlier and what a gift! Muscular nose, with leather and tobacco and dried herbs. Leathery on the palate, with some tart plums plums and ash on the long, long finish. I find a lot of Italian wines to be very acidic but this is super well balanced. The finish lasts for a good long time. Worth it.

An abundance of tobacco, rich black fruit, baking spice, and silky tannins.

I've always loved this wine & the 2010 does not disappoint. Needs a bit of decanting to open up but when it does it's awesome! Will definitely age well & only get better with time.

Unbalanced, good but not sure when I'll see the price tag...

550kr Quite good wine, needs a couple of hours for it to really open its taste profile. Leather, dark berries and tobacco is some of the most significant taste nuances in the wine
