I'd had a bottle of this a year or so ago and really enjoyed it so I purchased two more. We poured this bottle into the decanter and immediately had a glass. The tannins were very strong and we elected to wait a half hour for our next taste. After a half hour there was not much change. An hour and a half after opening and decanting it began to open up and was much more approachable.

Not as good as previous bottles; balance has moved across the fruit-tannin line toward the latter. Hope the fruit is just masked at this stage and not gone.

Sorry I missed this five years ago before the fruit dissipated to where it is now. Its still a lovely bottle of wine with a long, complex finish.

Consistent crowd pleaser. Not particularly Italian in style, but a fine show of flowers, red fruits, minerals, full body.

Solid IGT that improved after 30 minutes or so. Sangiovese dominates but in a good way. No hurry to drink these.
