February 5, 2024 - Beautiful red fruits on the nose, with earthy & leather notes coming through.
Palate was similar to the nose. Tannins were soft & had good balance. Med body, med.- tannins, med. acidity.
Enjoyed it over an Italian dinner. Overall very good quality. Drink now with potential to age further.1 person found this helpful Comment -

May 4, 2023 - 100% Sangiovese and has come into a good drinking window. Tried decanting 50% for 90 minutes but the consensus was a preference for the balance left in the bottle that showed more intensity and good black fruit. Sturdy but sophisticated and should continue to improve.

August 19, 2022 - As good as prior bottles. Got 1,5-2h air. Classic nose for high end sangiovese. Sloghtly underripe Red fruits, some shisha tobacco notes, as in sweet but not sugar’ish. Some herbs. M+ mouth feel, very ballanced and approachable after some air. Fruit forward.
