So much potential and pleasure for this bottle of Bordeaux style by Tenuta Sette Ponti. Flavours are well integrated. At this point, it is big and bold with oakiness but well structured. Cellar it a little while to soften and it would be so delightful for a decade. A wonderful bottle for cellar indeed. Cheersssss!!!!!!!!!
