Estimate
...secondary aromas of cedar and truffles to go along with its intense cassis, black-raspberry, blackberry, tarry, toasty personality. Exceptionally dense, concentrated, and full-bodied, this wine possesses layers of concentrated fruit...
Oozes rich and ripe fruit and sweet wood character, but doesn't taste overripe. Loaded with cassis and mineral flavors backed by tar and spice.
...Very lush and intense and deep. Long. Great balance and more finesse...
...youthful fruit, developed an agtreeable 'biscuity' scent; dry, good flavour, stylish finish...
When Robert Parker tasted this in 1992 it became the first Italian wine ever to earn a perfect score from him. When Wine Advocate tasted it again in 2016, it once again earned 100 pts.
