Opened as part of a Buchignani vertical tasting from the cellar. Color is still excellent but flavors tend toward, not surprisingly, a zin past it's prime. Nose of earth, tar, remnants of dried cherries. A bit oxidized. Flavors of dried herbs, tobacco and leather. Still has some solid structure.

Probably at its best now. Nice full taste on the mouth with great earthy flavors.

Very good. Wild and dark and brambly while still maintaining a direction and balance. Very, very good. Great with pork! 90pts.
