2nd bottle. A very strong , utterly insane value (I think it was under 13$). Lovely savory & forest leaning bits, overall black fruits. Skurnick importer.

Really loves a decant. Very dry so loves oily food; has the black cherry, medium frame, not too complicated Montalcino thing going on. Still, has some depth, & a second bottle awaits. Skurnik importer

2012. Honestly for the money, this is great. A killer house wine. Classic Sangiovese framework with some modern highlights from Cab, Merlot and Syrah.

継続的に使ってたワイン。ヴィンテージ切り替えで超ご無沙汰。
昔に比べて結構濃い目なのに、酒躯は水っぽい感じ。
昔は果実の中に、旨味がしっかりあって、好きだったんだけど、ちょっとケバい感じがしてイマイチ。
