Editor note: Translate to English Gereifte, herbe, etwas animalische, auch holzige und vegetabile Nase mit schwarz- und rotbeerigen Aromen sowie nussigen Tönen und Aromen getrockneter Zwetschgen. Im Mund erst deutlich holzig und trocknend, mit Luft dann aber etwas saftiger, nussige Aromen, ein wenig Kakao am Gaumen, zarter Säurebiss, erdige Noten, gewisse Nachhaltigkeit und Kraft, im Hintergrund leicht vegetabil, auch im ansich guten Abgang ein wenig Trocknend. Vielleicht nicht der ideale Jahrgang für eine Riserva, aber immerhin deutlich überzeugender als in seiner Jugend.

Editor note: Slightly vague nose, light vegetal notes, red and black berries, some soup greens and oak. Slightly dissolute again on the palate, vegetal notes and some oak, red and dark fruit, earthy with prominent oak, slightly astringent tannins, not particularly deep, but full-bodied, slightly rustic style, very slightly brittle on a good finish.
