Retail $65. 100% Sangiovese. Quite dark and even brooding in the glass with plum, even plum compote, blackberry jam, a meaty component, almost a smoked brisket. The palate is still quite youthful, even nearly seven years out and the fruit and acidity are in a lovely balance. There are considerable tannins on the finish and while not aggressive, they could use some more bottle time to integrate a bit more. Still, this is a lovely wine. Just short of a Whoa. 92 Points.
At Gamberro RossoTasting 2023 at the DuPont Bldg. Again, Iike this producer, all 4 wines. In fact, this year, they were my favorite producer at the the whole tasting. 91-pts

Brought to Old Fabio's. It was too big and sweet and young to really appreciate. 90
Better on day 2 in 1/2 full bottle. Moving to 91. Some baby fat has melted away.
