Quite disappointing. Opened two bottles, significant variation between them (corks looked exactly the same, so not that). Decanted. Light sediment in both bottles. But one had a very funky nose and devoid of fruit. Both just very flat and disappointing.

Initially a pungent nose of acetic acid. Aerated and decanted. Dark ruby color. After decanting, significant improvement in the nose; the vinegar fragrance was gone. More olive(?) and tobacco(?). Mellowed significantly over the next hour. Showing improvement with age.

Another nice showing for this medium weight easy drinking quaffer with enough acidity and fruit to be a great food match.

Juicy well balanced and nicely ripe in a medium bodied frame. Great cherry berry sangiovese for a pasta dish.
