greatly impressed with this 20 year old Sangiovese (6% cab). Still intense, black fruits, lush on the palate immediately after opening - will be curious to see how this holds up over a few hours or even next day. Pleasant nose. Dark color.

Opened with artichoke ravioli. Dark coloring, Bright cedar acid notes on the nose, the Cab is holding this up and keeping it alive, with a deep anchor to pin the mid and finish, while the lively, acidic sang. tangs around the palate and offers corrosive elements of rhubarb, sour cherry and cranberry. Day two showing savory qualities on a nice juxtaposition of the acidic Sangiovese and deep cab. good!

Appearance: Dark-red with slightly light edges. Looking good! Nose: Cherries, Cassis, Dried Tomatoes, Herbs, Sweet Vanilla, Leather and Spicy Characters. Taste: Cherries, Blackberries, some Cassis, quite present Cabernet Characteristics! Peppery, spicy and medium-long finish. (see my Blog for pictures and more details: cellartv.wordpress.com)
