  sangiovese as it were made in a ripasso style. more akin to zinfandel and not at all what i'm looking for in a brunello. couldn't take more than 3 sips.

  P&P. Medium(+) garnet, barely translucent, slow moving tears @14% abv. Perfumy nose black fruit, cherry complemented with savory arad leather, tobacco, licorice (drop), oak notes. Dry, medium acidity, medium(+) tannin, medium(+) alcohol and body. Palate sliding from dark cherry, bluwverry, black plum, to leather, robacco, and chocolate. Long wide-ranging finish with gripping tannins, superslick acidity and beautiful fruit. Amazing freshness given the age!
  
  Drink now - keep another 2-3 years.

  My previous bottles of this often had an offensive nose. That’s fine now
  
  Plenty of fruit still remains. Honestly stunning

  Sunday Football with Walter (49'ers vs Saimts). 2.5 hour decant. Brownish purple in color. Heavy cherry cough syrup on the nose. Bold flavors of dark cherry licorice amd leather on the palate. There is a barnyard nuance (Beaucastel like, not unpleasant to me).Full bodied with some tannin still remaining. Big finish. I enjoyed it.
