Moderately saturated medium red. Red cherry, raspberry and flowers on the nose, with hints of mocha and leather. Sweet, round and fleshy but a bit withdrawn in the middle palate and tight on the back end. But this will be lush with another few years in the bottle. A non-cru bottling that's actually a blend of five crus: Bussia, Ravera, Bricco del Fiasc, Meriondino and Fossati.

Bright and plummy with strawberry and cherry character and hints of toasted oak and spices. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a ripe, rich aftertaste. This has stuffing. Better than 2000. Best after 2008. 2,300 cases made. –JS
