Morello cherry, red currant, balsamic, potpourri. Tannins are soft, balanced acidity, drinking well still. Nice

Well structured Sangiovese, fruit forward with initial strong tannins. After 35 minutes decanted, both on the nose and palate, there is a beautiful blueberry, spice & floral experience. The tannins are soft and the wine fills the mouth with delight!
It may evolve a bit more but is ready now.

My initial reaction was this was past its prime. Went back to the glass after about an hour and was pleasantly surprised. Dusty flowers, earth, and leather on pallet. Subdued nose. Still some nice acidity. Last bottle from Italy trip 7 years ago.

WTSO. First of 3 but also have 3 single vineyard. Good red fruit on nose. Cherry bomb palate with smooth tannins. Tobacco good length. Like a lot. Thus would be a crowd pleaser including “beginners” Wouldn’t keep for 10 years but definitely 5. Drink next bottle in 2023. Perhaps will buy more

Drinks beautifully, finesse and low tannins match perfectly with bolognese

2012 smooth and juicy. A bit earthy which I like. Good steakhouse option when you don’t want to spend over $100.

Still doing well 10yrs out. Soft tannins with medium acidity, great with lamb chops.
