In contrast to the vibrancy of the 1998 and '99, the 2000 Trinoro has reached its apogee yet doesn't quite scale the heights of those first two vintages, nor most of those to follow. Yields were incredibly low – just 15hl/ha – and uniquely for Trinoro, it underwent what winemaker Lorenzo Fornaini calls ‘double new oak’ – new oak barrels for malolactic fermentation, then afterwards some of the wine was racked to more new barrels for maturation. Refined and classy, it's really gamey, perhaps bretty, with warm earth, wood polish and spicy cedar complexity and just a slight floral hint. Tertiary and fully evolved, its dried black fruit character is accompanied by beef stock and leather, while the fresh acidity provides some useful contrast. Will not improve. 3,600 bottles produced. Poured from magnum.
