Decanted for a couple hours. Classic nose of red fruits, earth, leather, some mushroom some light herbal notes. Medium body, strong drying tannins, and strong acidity. This also had some really great early maturity fruits, as well as mushroom, and green hints. This was better with food (ate with braised short ribs, polenta and asparagus), but it was still quite a nice wine by itself but it was a tad astringent. No rush to drink this. IMHO this will last at least another 10 years.

Dark fruit- black cherry, blueberry, blackberry, spice, slight herbal, earth, leather, strong tannins. Good acidity. Really enjoyable. Lingering finish.

Lovely Sagrantino, with plush texture, good cherry fruit and acids in balance. Fully ready now.
