Prior notes still apply; best QPR of any Sagrantino out there, nothing touches this...
Nose has burnt cigar box, cocoa nibs, dark chocolate, black cherry, ripe plum, moist anise spice, over-ripe blackberry; such concentration, amazing!
Palate has dark chocolate, over-ripe and very juicy black cherry, well integrated cedar notes, over-ripe blackberry, great balance, finish is nearly forever. Decanted ~3hrs and it's really screaming out of the decanter/glasses tonight. This bottle threw the most sediment of all prior bottles. 100% Sagrantino.
