Aromas were fantastic right out of the bottle. Dark red fruit and blackberries, leather and tobacco spice. Dark ruby with edges starting to turn brick red. Tannins are smooth but well structured with a long and spiced finish. Overall impression is great for an "off" vintage.

So tasty! Drink now still has great fruit but I feel it's at its peak. Perfectly well balanced Sangiovese!
