  This bottle was not as good as notes below suggest. Bought this on close out sale, perhaps was not handled well

  Absolutely stunning
  Tannins fully integrated, all the notes are very secondary and tertiary, dusty cherry, leather, violets and truffle.
  
  She is certainly showing her age, and I might suspect this wine is at its peak now. Strong showing from castellare again, love the i sodi line.

  This might have been an off bottle, or not optimally paired with ham, cream tomato pasta. It had some bitterness in the midpalate and had a short finish.

  A great wine! Sangiovese with Malvasia Nera makes a wonderful combination. The Sangio contributes dark red and dark fruit flavors while the Nera contributes a wonderfully subtle sense of spiciness. Nice fruity nose of dark red fruits and spice. Great mouthfeel and texture. Excellent aftertaste. Drank over 4 days with noticeable improvement over time! (thanks Vacuvin)
