A truly great wine, and an icon of modernity with typical Italian attention to nuance and detail. Sensuous, fragrant bouquet of ripe berry and currant fruit basking in cream, cedar, leather and gentle smoke from French wood. The texture is fleshy, dense, sumptuous and elegant—generous yet compact, with perfectly integrated tannin. And the length measures in minutes. Best 2009 to 2020. Vintages. 987586
