A legend, a wine that lifted Librandi to the status of a great Italian producer. Despite being almost 30 years old, this was still in stunning form. Its ruby color was leaning towards garnet but remained compact while the intriguing bouquet had notes of autumn underbrush and a little graphite with still some traces of fruit. The mouthfeel was excellent thanks to its texture and progression, settled tannins and engaging saline streak that persisted towards an excellent and consistent finish.
