Needs air. Definitely decant. In 2019 I rated it a 9.0 and in 2020 I now give it a 9.1. Age has been good to this wine softening and rounding the edges. — 5 years ago
Ripe, sweet plums and sour cherries. Medium body with nice juicy acidity. Just a touch of tannin in the background. No wood, great vintage. Lovely. — 8 years ago

We had this wine in Montepulciano amazing small city in Tuscany. A good Sangiovese! #montepulciano #contucci #italianwines #tuscany #sangiovese — 7 years ago
Fantastic wine of the region! Similar to the Riserva of the Contucci Family of Wines, this full-bodied (yet lighter) Nobile has an aromatic nose but not overpowering. A smooth and drier finish rounds out the taste! ... when did we start talking like we were professionals at this? (Maybe that's only in my mind...) — 8 years ago
Ruby coloration with some transparency. On the nose, cherry, balsamic, vanilla, leather, crushed rock and earth. On the palate, medium to full body, cherry, currants, anise, espresso bean, leather, balsamic, vanilla and chocolate; a nicely layered palate with a medium to long finish. Tannins are still quite present but balanced. — 3 years ago

Great Sangiovese! Went wonderfully well with the grilled sheep cheese and Tuscany ham. Complimented the pasta as well. — 8 years ago
