Little by little, this Bordeaux blend from Italian ownership is inching toward where it wants to be. The 2005 is the best of the wine's four vintages to date, but even so it's mildly sharp and racy in the mouth. In front of that, the bouquet deals a nice blend of cassis, plum, leather and truffle, and the finish is fresh. Could be an excellent wine with a softer, more complete mouthfeel; as is, it's composed but slightly acidic.
