Nice wine that I drank over 2 nights. Black cherry, blackberry, black currant. Right after opening the tannins were still very present but became smoother and more integrated with air. Ready to drink now, but will develop further over the next 5-10 years.

As I work my way through a case of this, I have seen lots of bottle variation with some bottles obviously being better than the others. This one was on decline and showed stewed red fruit and cedar. Still good but definitely lacking vibrancy. I’m one that looks for vibrancy in Italian wine, so the beginnings of fatigue point me to the corkscrew! Drink up

Beautiful deep ruby color. Soft tannins and a smooth finish. Intense notes of black cherry. Ready now. Faded a bit on night two.

Great value. Seems to be at maturity. Cherry, licorice, and leather. Long finish. Drank over two hours. Cork in great shape. Beautiful wine.

Fully, fully, fully mature...Showing meaty notes with eastern spices that start taking over sangiovese and merlot. DRINK, fully mature.
