It is an enjoyable old Sangiovese: lot of sweetness, red fruits, graphite, spices, mushrooms... The feeling is nice (even if short and not intense) even if I had more expectations for this one.
It is past its peak. Structure and fruit intensity are both fading, which is not surprising for such age, but a bit more annoying I found the aromas and flavours lacked of precision. I could identify a few clusters but hard to pin anything specific. Finish is short with a lot of sweetness.
