| Tasting Notes |

|
Deep black garnet ruby with cherry rim; it's slightly darker than the 98 Poggio alle Mura. The bouquet is intense, and more brambly than the 90, with savory notes mingled with Moroccan leather and spice with some dried flowers as well, and also some sour berry fruit acidity. Swishing brings things together, and reveals considerable harmony, in a slightly greener key than that of the 90, with considerable leaf tobacco as well: the vintage was what Italians call altanenante, seesawing ? with ups and downs. On the palate it's savory, and brambly, with some prune fruit laced with sweetness and cedary brambles, and considerable savory accents that lead into a fairly sour savory finish with a splintery tannic underpinning. It reflects the vintage very well, and is very much alive, held up by the brashness of its acidity, and while it's not as approachable as some of the vintages, if you like older wines that have something to say you will enjoy it. Because it does have a story to tell. |
