Awesome, just awesome. This has entered what will be a long window of fantastic drinking. Fruit, acidity, and tannins in perfect harmony. Bottle #8220.

This is in a great place. Classic wild Sagrantino profile on the nose, with a strawberry sweetness to it. The palate is impeccably balanced; the acid deficit I noted more than 7 years ago nonexistent. Everything one could want from a young-vines Sagrantino. I’ll enjoy my remaining bottles over the next five years, when I imagine this will be at its best. Bottle #6596.

2010 Giuseppe Quintarelli Cà del Merlo Veneto IGT

It’s been a long time since I’ve opened a bottle of Quintarelli red, but the opportunity to do so on a New York restaurant list for $145 was too good to pass up. It may be 12 years old, but it drinks like it went in the bottle yesterday, even after an hour-long decant. Purple and black fruits, a heavy dose of graphite, and vanilla extract all are prominent. The ripeness is clear, but at the same time, a strong vein of acidity keeps the wine feeling far lighter than it otherwise would. Recommended, but give it more air than I did.
