A little less compelling on the palate, as the alcohol is starting to get more pronounced on the finish, but this is still a pleasure to drink, although if I had more, off this bottle, I would probably be thinking about drinking it sooner as opposed to later.

The nose is a clear winner here, with deeper toned black and red fruit. This is also more substantial on the palate than the first wine. Mature, but it doesn’t feel tired.

    March 21, 2021 - Slow-oxed for 9 hours upon serving into Sy glass (“Root” into “Flower”): Pale garnet with ruby hues.

    Horse sweat. Savoury spices. Secondary red cherry fruits.

    Minerality that resembles seaweed / marina notes. Less integrated.

    93 points.

    Second round: more ripe cherry fruits, savoury spices.

Compared to the Poggio that tasted few days before, this has airier aromatic, purer fruits and lighter roasted herbs character with perfume red flowers. Very elegant on the palate, a little more generous ripe fruits on the palate. Beautifully layers and defined. Tannin was so fine that it was hardly discernible. The purity and finesse is amazing.

Savoury with hints of cherry, coffee and tobacco on the nose. Richer on the palate than expected. Ready - and in a great spot now.

    January 19, 2019 - You guys either drink much better wines than I do or don’t understand how to properly rate a beautiful Sangiovese. Average 90,4 points? Come on. This is a sincerely pure Rosso (not a mini Brunello) in wonderful balance. Cherry fruit in a bunch of different shapes and forms, a just wonderful acidity that intertwines with the limestoney minerality, fresh sage, maybe a whiff of jazz tobacco. Pure, but enough of maturity to make it complex. I don’t do points any more, but if I did, I would be sailing over a bar set on 90,4.

    August 4, 2017 - Terrific rosso, 1.5L. Paired well with pasta and grilled sausages on a warm night. Amazing contrast with a williams selyem zin we opened afterward and which tasted like a fruit bomb by comparison.
