Took a while to open up and the fruit to show. Blueberries, some forest floor. Good acid. Straddles the line between traditional and modern brunello. — a day ago

Celebrating valentine's day aka our first date anniversary. Decanted for 2 hrs. Still showing prominent tannins so no rush to drink. Cherry, touches of raspberry, tobacco, and leather. Very good! — 10 days ago

06 & 08 side by side. 08 took a lot of air to come alive. Still quite stern. 06 more open. Sensed some va initially. It eventually straightened out and overtook the 08 — 3 days ago

Killer. Classic old school Sangiovese nose. Elegant mid season cherry and so lifting. Spice and Cherry flower. Earthy and leathery. Palate is juicy and so elegant with amazing depth and structure. So juicy and really nimble wine. Terrific inner mouth aromas. Deep, energetic and persistent. Vivid mid season cherries all the way through. Terrific balance. A baby now but has 15 years ahead of it. — 16 days ago

Dark sour cherry and strawberry aromas and flavors. Hints of tobacco and leather. Brimming with acidity and the tannins are very smooth. A bit light bodied and short on the finish. Good wine but I was expecting more. — 16 days ago

Opened 1 hr prior. Beautiful dark red purple. Cherry leather on nose. Delicious red fruit;(cherry dominant but hint of strawberry)tobacco jolly rancher with very subtle tannins and touch of smokiness. Long length. Unfortunately last bottle. Want more. While WS window stated 2009-19 this has an easy 5-10 and not convinced at peak. — 3 days ago
