Wine has remained about the same as last notes. Very nice Sangiovese. I would like more depth and complexity at this price point but a good drinking wine.

Decanted >2 hours. This vintage is starting to mature although it is still young. Luscious red fruit, tar and hints of spice. Beautiful in the mouth with a long, velvety smooth finish. Very nice.

Decanted >3 hours due to the late vintage. Big red fruit with a long velvety finish. Paired with spaghetti and was excellent. Best to lay for a while but overall, this is a good wine that could be special in a few years.

87% Sangiovese and 13% Aglianico aged 22 months in new and once-filled French oak barrels, and neutral French oak barrels, puncheons, and oval botti. Let breathe for about 7 hours prior to note. Aromas of suave cherry, raspberry and dried strawberry mingle with notes of flowers, cigar box, No 2 pencil, graham and toast. The palate is tightly wound, but revealing purity of fruit with raspberry, strawberry, red cherry and goji that notes of flower petals, graham and and cigar ride in behind closing with the red fruits coming back into focus. Above moderate alcohol, acidity and full tannins which gain intensity through the finish. Excellent. I can't wait to see how this will evolve with cellar time. 2020-2036
