From nearly purple and dense in the middle to slightly orange brim surrounding the surface.
Nose as classic as it gets
Dark cherry, leather, truffle, licorice and.. soy sauce..and coffee..and if you keep swirling you get more and it isn't that classic anymore
The palate is full and in great tension
So fresh and vibrant
Almost whips you mouth
Majestic example of sangiovese that you can easily still put aside for a while, but absolutely enjoy now too
Very long
Decanting would be very beneficial

My guess on this is the rambunctiousness that is present is due to young vines...a touch, and I mean a hair, more alcohol is noticeable than I would expect from such a "perfect" vintage. It filled out with time as air smoothed things out raising it from an initial 88-89. The house style is indeed intact with a focus on purity of fruit and less on cosmetics.
