Tasted over 6 hours. Classic. One of the better Cepparello I have had, particularly with age. Classic Sangiovese with tart cherry, some plum, mint, and tertiary tobacco, with some floral and leather. Perfect acidity, mouthwatering, but the tannin could be a little more polished as they are a bit chewy and chalky at the moment. Med/med+ body, with a med+ finish. Very good and would buy more.

Lovely pure Sangiovese fruit, a little tight and the tannin is a bit grainy at the moment, so either drink it with food or give it a little more time to come together.

Superb Cepp' in a real sweet spot, tannins fully integrated, dark cherry and tobacco leaf deliver a soft and persistent message: drink me! Great food wine.

A little shy on the nose. Opened up over time. Red and black silk on the palate. Acid, tannin and fruit beautifully balanced. Showing well now, but no doubt will evolve with elegance and grace.
