Showed wonderful upon opening. improved over next several hours. Decanting would have really helped. Dense ripe dark fruits. Tannins became silky after an hour. Quite long.

Was not expecting the fireworks this bottle offered. Sweet core of pure sangiovese red fruited goodness. Fully resolve tannins. Velvety front to back. These wine can really age.

Very deceptive color in a Rayas sort of way. This kept growing with air. A complete well integrated wine with seamless palate front to back. Tannins perfectly meld into the fruit. A touch of brett gives it a hint of burgundy funk. Brunello like no other. Brilliant.
