German chocolate cake and bacon fat, brooding black cherry and reishi mushroom. Smoky tallow, madura leaf, blackberries, black currant, black roses and African violets, yellowing bamboo and plums for leagues. Black cherry carries the heavy mouthfeel up and over the palate with an overt lard and tallow signature. Depth and complexity ensue. This is rich and refined, well-integrated in terms of tannin and perfectly balanced; a glorious expression of Montalchino! This is rarefied quality and reins in its fruit with a graphite mesh that supports the aforementioned. Incredible.

Drinks light for a Sangiovese. Light and fruity - pairs well with all meats.

So savory, showing all tertiary notes. Fruit still clung to this core - simply delicious!

Purchased this roughly five years ago. Worth the wait open. What a lovely, delicious wine!
