Drank this on the first day over several hours, then corked it to be had two days later.
On the first day: - in the first hour, the fruit notes tended towards ripe strawberries with racy acidity and a very short finish - 3 hours in, the wine transformed towards dark fruits with blueberries, plums, lovely spice and tobacco notes with a medium long finish. The tannins were grippy, definitely will hold on to my other bottles longer.

Such a wonderful wine. Sangiovese but with the French oak twist. Shows some darker cherry, pomegranate, tobacco, vanilla. Palate carries that Sangiovese line of acidity and tannic bite. Great now but should drink well for a long time
95+ tonight

Very young Cepparello that shows the wood use with a predominant oak notes’ presence rather than tannins that are fine and well managed. The nose veer towards creamy nuances rather than fruity, but the structured and very long mouth is done for long term. Now 91, then can be 94.

Deep, robust, luscious, musky but not overwhelming with solid balance and an elegant and structured finish. Great stuff.
