  Very nice at the 18-year mark. Up front fruit profile of red cherry, strawberry, and red plum. Notes of leather, stewed tomatoes, tobacco, and a damp earthiness to it. Nice acidity, smooth tannins, and a good long finish. Great spot right now to enjoy.

  Pretty much done. No tannins left to speak of. Translucent and bright in color. Fruit-driven. Mainly berries, raspberries, sour cherries. Medium body, medium finish. Nice and balanced. But, unlikely to improve with additional time in the cellar.

  There is certainly bottle variation, as this one— properly stored and not corked—was dried out and even after an hour in the decanter and an hour in the glass showed only the mildest hint of that sangiovese dark fruit. Tobacco, leather and sweet earth hints on the nose, but all muted. Nice dark black/ red color. Drink up.

  Perfumed aromas of marinating steak, baked dark cherry pudding with an earthiness (like a clay pit) and floral icing.

  Wow, REALLY funky nose to start, but that burned off after an hour or so.
