The 2005 vintage is marked by ample yields, which were treated to a relatively cool growing season, resulting in rather restrained wines upon release. Tasted in August 2024, that restraint is still evident. The wine displays a ruby colour with tawny edges. There’s an austerity to both the wine and the tannins, which are quite firm, fine-grained, and slightly drying, yet there’s a good energy in the fruit and a calmness to the overall profile. It’s quite enjoyable, even if the finish is a bit shorter than one might hope. Still, plenty of sweet cassis, sagebrush, and white pepper nuances lend intrigue and build curiosity. Certainly one of the more approachable older Togni wines today, as with air, the tannins soften quickly, allowing you to indulge the more savoury nuances.
