Wanted to hate it but was far better than I anticipated. For a few years now this has been representative of all that was wrong with wine. This still lacks elegance and classic Italian character, but tastes more like a wine than previous vintages. I recently tried the 03, which was not at all the same as the 2011-2013. It does offer some structure and "deliciousness" brought about by the ultra modern style (make up), but there is SOME real wine in here.
