Not decanted. Not at the same level as the Il Seggio. Nevertheless, a good everyday wine, which became even better with a little air. 88-89 pts. at the moment.

A previous reviewer nailed this. Deep purple, inky, and ruby color. Nose of black fruits, spices’ box and tobacco notes, with a slight hint of funky soil and barnyard. Sweet cherry and blackberry palate with notes of anise and aged wood. Finishing juicy with good acidity and silky tannins.

Full body, deep purple to inky colour. Intense aroma of ripe black fruits, spices’ box and tobacco notes. Dominant sweet cherry and blackberry palate finishing hot and liquorice but juicy with good acidity and silky tannins. Powerful and rich but a bit loses balance, albeit enjoyable wine. Food friendly, well pairing to risotto. Serve 16ºC - 20ºC. Open two hours ahead. Drink now and next four years.

Decanted and drank right away.
Didn't need much time to open up.
Very notable peppery aromas, but the fruit flavor came for the front as well.
Nice QPR.
88 points.

Nice wine - strong cherry notes. Smooth and somewhat dry/astringent. Slight bitter edge. Did well paired with pepperoni pizza.

Ruby, bright herbaceous nose with hint of funk, sour cherry and dark fruit, solid tannins and nice warm finish, well made and enjoyable

Not as big or multifaceted as I had hoped, but served us well as a dinner wine with Italian food.
