Guess all those folks knocking this before 2020 wish they had a cellar…this is drinking great right now. A cool break in Seattle prompted a good Pasta and this wine was perfect. Still youthful but the rough edges are gone. The nose is still fresh with a long classic Tuscan finish. I have a couple left but thinking this fall when the chanterelles hit the farmers market they will be put to good use with a quality t bone!

A fruitier version of Brunello, but not one dimensional. A sweet bakery component. maybe marzipan like (reminds me of Dolcetto). Lots of acidity and notable, but smooth, tannins. Delicious.

Absolutely delightful. Bright balanced tasty red fruit with a clean crisp finish. I would never have guessed 10 years!

Still a bit rough but with a lot of vigor too. Give it 5 more years?

A delightful Sangiovese, and a very nice accompaniment to Italian fare. I'm tempted to go 90, but 89 is probably closer to reality.
