 <\/p>\n

Upon opening<\/strong> … Young wine, only 6 years old, cork is in decent shape, there was a little crack and bend to the middle; nothing too odd like wine creeping up. No problems to report. \"Banfi<\/p>\n

NOSE:<\/strong>  Raspberry and black cherry aromas … I’m happy with that.<\/p>\n

TASTE:<\/strong>  Palate shows more licorice and cedar than it does the fruits described on the nose, nice tannin structure; within half-an-hour this wine has already begun to change it’s character as the fruit starts to drop out.<\/p>\n

2 hrs later<\/strong> … Smooth, across the tongue, those tannins have almost disappeared replaced by licorice and a good level of acidity – though it is getting leaner: there is little else holding my interest.<\/p>\n

3 hrs later<\/strong> … There’s very little fruit present, that lean quality has taken over. Cedar is now dominating.<\/p>\n

16 hours later<\/strong> … Dusty … Not dead, just really dusty.<\/p>\n

Bottom Line<\/strong> … Not a wine to hold anymore. It’s ready and ready within the first hour. Enjoy with food and you might get a little longer out of it.<\/p>\n
