A medium body Vino Nobile that shows a traditional style and typical Sagiovese flavors. There is light cigar and chewing tobacco flavor in the middle and finish. Finish was dry tannin with a sweet edge of fruit

PnP. Opaque, ruby red fading to a significant strip of orange at the edge. Aromas of dried cherry, leather, tobacco, wet dirt, some herbal notes. On the palate dried fruit, a bit of heat, medium acidity, medium- tannin, a slight astringent note, finishes with a warm note. This tastes mature to perhaps a bit past peak. Nicely balanced complexity.

PnP which is rare for me, but this was very nice out of the bottle. Translucent light to medium garnet colored with a nose of cherry, vanilla, mocha and a touch of menthol. Palate has low tannin and moderate acidity with flavors of some earthy cherry, pomegranate and a minty finish. After an hour or two there was a slightly bitter finish. This was great with a sausage, mushroom and sage pasta.

Bottle age showing very nicely, as with my prior comment. I sure wish this wasn't my last bottle.
