Wednesday, May 8, 2013 - 50% Sangiovese/50% Merlot blend. Had over 2 nights. Initially PnP, than drank over 3 hrs. on 1st night. Cork was 1/4 to 1/3 saturated, but intact. Structured & complex w/meaty red & dark berries, plum, spice, leather & earth. Later some herbal nuances emerged. Dry gritty tannins, which integrated well over time w/air. Good acidity, smooth yet bold & full-bodied, and a nice lingering finish.

As such, this leads me to believe that this will continue to age well for a few more years. Glad to have one more of this to see how it develops over the next 2-4 years. Yet, it is so delicious now...give it at least a 2 hour decant if drinking now.
