Splash decanted and enjoyed over the course of two hours. The 2019 pours a deep garnet color with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of Morello cherry, red flowers, black tea, dried green herbs and gravelly earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and has that Ciacci Piccolomini silkiness. I felt the 2019 was a little reticent for the first 30min (not at all surprised) but opened beautifully after that and continued to build steam until the last glass. Very easy to enjoy and fabulous with bolognese. Drink now with a 30min decant and through 2044 — a month ago

Declassified Brunello grapes from a difficult vintage. Dusty red fruits, barnyard scents, clay, cloves. Juicy, creamy fruits, wrapped in subtle oak, hints on black pepper. Good length. Solid QPR for the '14. — 10 years ago

Another very good everyday table wine for under $10. Reminiscent of many house wines I had in Italy. Light, smooth, mild fruit & vanilla flavors. — 12 years ago

Took a minute but did really greatly enjoy this wine after it opened up. Slightly chilled helped. Good before and with meal. Cosgrove. — 22 days ago

What a beauty! Black cherry, plum, licorice, a bit of spice. Long, long, looooong finish. So balanced with structure, but mellow as well. Sublime. — 2 years ago

A little help turning that Tuesday corner. Indulgently flavored bang for the buck here. Boozy, but intense dark fruits and mature tannins with a nice long finish. — 8 years ago

Sharp and tart at first sip, but after decanting and letting it air out it really came around. Red cherry and balsamic. — 11 years ago

Elegant and spices. In hindsight, drank my previous bottles way too early. This was firing on al cylinders today. — 3 months ago
