A powerhouse, decanted for 2 hrs. Nose is showing some nice matured sangiovese flavours, but in the mouth, it is all muscles and powerful tannins from CS and oak. Feels more southern CS than 70/30 Sang/CS blend. Bought from Italy for €20, and you get a 20y+ monster wine- good qpr.

Past it’s prime but still very good. Would buy again if the price is < $35. This is a dark, brooding Super Tuscan that is extremely satisfying & can be drank with a nice steak or on its own with a bit of cheese.

Drinking very well - lovely structure and balance - still amble tannin, but has softened - drink now or can age longer.

Really nice supper Tuscan. 70% Sangiovese, 30% Cabernet. Great body. Still some not so soft tannins. But a great wine.

One of the better Italian reds I have in my cellar. 1 hour decant is great. I would drink up as I do not think it is going to get much better.
