Poured small glass to check the wine and left to slow ox for 6 hours, wow, absolutely excellent. Very mineral. Probably could develop more but amazing now

Très beau nez typique sur l'encens, le cuir et chocolat amer, l'évolution fait son oeuvre dans la complexité aromatique. La bouche est serrée, encore assez tannique, la finesse ressort davantage à table. Superbe allonge, on sent encore un potentiel d'évolution même si on peut s'attendre à ce que le vin demeure toujours assez charpenté.

A little disappointing compared to recent bottles of Pora, Ovello, and Montestefano from the same vintage. Nice enough wine, tannins nicely resolved, showing solid tertiary notes, but just missing a little "oomph." I expect more magic from Asili. Again, I think this suffered in comparison to the other Produttori Riservas from 2008 I've drank recently.

Dark and brooding, minerally, earthy, some leather, tannins still present but softening, succulent with some chewy bits. Delicious

Solid effort. About as expected, no more or less. I don't think it will get any better as it ages from here.
