Fast forward 2 years, this bottle seems to have balanced out with a subtle nose, some earth/leather and fig. The palate now has dark chocolate, cherry, oak and some earthiness or leather. Nice taste, some heat from alcohol, and finishes with a bit of tannins and prune. Overall nicer than in 2014.

With red sauce pasta, PnP from 12C cellar seemed tight and disjointed, a bit acidic; tasted like a $5 market bottle. Recorked, no Ar, and into the fridge. Same bottle and leftovers three days later a totally different experience. Nice fruit, balanced acidity, tasty tannins and enough complexity to keep it interesting.

Fruit is starting to fade on this wine. Opens nicely within a few minutes of pour. Fruit forward still, some strawberry and spice with a nice lighter finish. Slightly thin and sweet. Decent super tuscan. Second day it was much flatter though still somewhat sweet.

Much improved from my 2014 note and hwgeek sums it up with the 7/24/2016 note. I'll try to get to my remaining two bottles in the next few years.

Nice italian style red. Opened during thanksgiving, everyone liked it. Lighter, with a fruit forward taste, easy palate and smooth finish.
