Drank 10/5/21.
On the nose, black cherry, earth, and tar dominate. Similar flavors are well balanced and backed by medium plus tannins. Finish is longer than average, and dominated by black fruits and tar. I haven't had this wine in a few years, but earlier vintages seemed a bit better. Certainly not bad, just not as good as I remember.
3/21/7/4/4 + 50 = 89 pts.

Post Elsa checklist- gnarly drinking Sangiovese, nobile-tough. Always better day two. Elsa was a bit anticlimactic down in The Gulf Coast, so this got special attention; very disjointed on day 1, but reconstituted afterward; blackberries. Ready to rumble w Elsa on day 2-3, eh? @Severn Goodwin

Very earthy on the nose. A little tannic, medium body. Goes down nice and smooth.

Not bad, not great. Difficult for me to rate other varietals when I love full bodied wine
