This started out closed on the nose and even gave a vegetal hint of fresh peas but, after an hour, opened in bottle, it started to show aromas of plum, a bit of stewed tomato, animal musk and pepper. This may not sound pleasurable to a fan of big fruity wines, but those in search of nuance and complexity would have a great time unveiling the layers found here. The palate was thick and a bit chewy but structured with blueberry, cherry, savory herbs and an aftertaste of spicy cherry and tobacco. The stiff structure kept things interesting against a vodka sauce and its flavors added even more complexities to the tomato and woodsy flavors of the pancetta.

Having left this bottle open for three days, after pulling the cork, paid off. The nose turns to green pepper, dusty cherry and a bit of plum. The palate now shows like a perfectly resolved and aged wine. The tannic structure has faded and left behind a velvety smooth and wonderfully balanced wine with red fruit, almond, pepper and a cedar finish. For the lover of Italian wine, this is a gem. Let it breath and watch it come to life.
