With spinach and ricotta shells
1998 Percarlo San Giusto a Rentennano IGT, alc 14%, $56: A bit musty on the nose with underbrush and leaves (and maybe some wood)...tar/asphalt and tannic and leafy with sour fruit...finish is drying tannins...very little fruit showing...I'm not sure if this is just youthful or past it's prime...not overly impressive this evening...I'm not sure the fruit could outlast the tannins if it was held a lot longer...maybe I just don't know enough about thist style to appreciate it (certainly a real possibility)
