Elegant ruby red with oranging rim. Subtle nose of cherry, strawberry, meringue, spice, and crushed flowers. Restrained red fruit on the palate with a faint hazelnut background. Quite round. Medium plus alcohol. Nice soft yet grippy tannins. Dry. Full bodied. Super long delicious finish almost of porto. Lots of years to go. But excellent now.
After more time, some chocolate enters the scene. But the finish is a bit more blunted. I have more of this and will provide an update later.

Lots of fruit coming up. Strong sour cherry. Too much Sangiovese, not enough Brunello for me
