The nose seemed to have closed down since I last encountered it in 2012

Angludet other_regions_italy The nose seemed to haveA sleeper of the vintage, this 2005 seems to be close to its plateau of maturity. It exhibits a dense ruby plum purple color, wonderfully sweet and silky tannins, loads of blackcurrant and floral infused fruit, medium body and a long, layered, elegant and pure personality. It is drinking quite well and exhibiting no reason to extend its aging. This wine should continue to offer gorgeous and good value drinking for another decade.
