Desperately needed about 30-45 minutes in a huge decanter to let go of reduction, but once it did, a very pleasant wine arrived and was able to speak more articulately. Great salinity on the finish after a bit of a dip on the midpalate that feels a bit watery or dilute, but then the nice herb-inflected dry finish arrives and lends presence. There's something ever so slightly rich, round, and ripe to the fruit that helps the wine feel generous.

Swig Italian portfolio tasting (67 Pall Mall, London): Two years bottle age. Very consistent.
