Ruby with garnet edges, aromas of berry fruit, spice, oak and tobacco emanated from my glass. The palate showed mature flavors of cherry, berry and plum, almost sweet, with soft well developed tannins, well balanced with acidity. The finish was long and satisfying ending with some oak and earthy tones. Probably difficult to find a 2008, but if you do, this Riserva is tasting great now.
