Friday night at Fabio's with the NY/NJ Crew (Fabio's NYC): Medium garnet color in the glass. Classic Sangiovese aromatics: meaty savoriness, soy sauce and tart red fruit. Similar notes on the palate with well-integrated tannin structure, high acidity, and a medium long finish. Drinking really well right now.

30-45min decanting to open up. Ruby red. Plum, Jammy, hint of chocolate and smokey, chunky, chewy, complex, firm structure, long finish. Peaking now. Will not improve. After 2hr It is all over. Drink now.

Excellent showing today. Intense nose, almost meaty and fullbodied on the palate, with cherry and a long finish. It is quite elegant with so much fruit that you hardly experience the well integrated tannins.

Deep ruby with amber tinge, low glycerin and slight tears. Lots of tar on the nose, mushroom, leather, subtle fruitta di bosco scents. Pleasant possibly with mushroom risotto, Likely past its prime, thankfully down to last bottle. An 85 at this stage.

Glad we opened it, was a brick red and not a lot going on but mushroom, very earthy and dried, didn't last ong either, within a short time it was done.
