  Dinner at Roux with Francesco. Last of my 3 bottles, and this was fantastic, like the previous bottle. Velvety smooth, with lively red fruit and nice secondaries. Paired well with both duck and lamb chops. Just great stuff. How I wish that I had bought more of these for $59 years ago...

  Our bottle shared with friends at a restaurant before a ballgame. 60 minute slow-O at home. I think I liked this a little more than Kevin (RockNRoller).
  
  Definitely had the mix of cherry and black fruits (black cherry, blackberry even some boysenberry) but still has some of that stewed tomato goodness I associate with Sangiovese plus dried herbs, leaves, and other dried spices. Fair acids up front, nice mid-palate with velvety tannins brining up the rear.
  
  For my senses I found this to be more balanced than the 06 Fèlsina Rancia served next to it. Drinking well now and should be able to hold at this level for 3 or 4 years.

  Tuscan's at The 112 (112 Eatery, Mpls, MN): Very dark red color. Drank a glass over an hour. Slow-O for an hour before serving. 85% Sangiovese/15% Malvasia Nera. Black cherry and big high toned fruit, lot dried earth and cedar box spice, high toned spices, full bodied and concentrated with what I found more firm tannins. 90+ to 91pts.

  Brought to Owl House for dinner. This bottle was just awesome. Beautiful fruit, velvety texture, and still lively acidity and a bit of tannic structure to give it energy. This was nice to drink on its own before food arrived and is also very food-friendly. Great stuff, and glad I have one more of the 07s. Tremendous value at $59 for a world-class wine. No rush to drink the remaining bottle, but not sure it gets better from here either
