Ok look: This is a $14 bottle of Sangiovese. I had decent expectations as I'm a big fan of vino nobile, but I am blown away by this wine. Gotta decant for an hour, it opens up into a richness I've seen in few Brunellos. Convinced this is the steal of the year. An 09??? Crazy!

dark violet color, earthy aromas, really smells of mesquite, dried cherries and ripe plums, traditional on the palate, shows flavors of cherry, leather, and cranberry with a strong mineral background, very clean and round, very alive and youthful, this drinks well now but could probably hold up for a while in the cellar as well, was alright with baked salmon

Much better after an hour or so. Medium bodied, nicely complex, kind of dusty and earthy. Good acidity. Nice with pasta.
