  - Drinking very dryly, robust but with finer points.
  - Pale red /orange "brick" color. Medium to light on mid palette.
  -Dove in firm, will it last?
  -"Red currant" and tobacco.
  -Drinking more traditional and far more thinly than my previous Argiano which at the time I found drank much heavier.
  -Almonds? Light oak?
  -This wine drinks rather brightly and has a pronounced pale oak presence.
  - Red currant morphing into bitter bruised strawberries.
  - Maybe rhubarb!
  - Seems a bit polished after 2 hours decanting although paired with food.
  - Was not expecting deeper strawberry fig and blueberry notes toward the end of the bottle
  - all of which became gracefully enveloped in sweet wet tobacco notes. Almost maple like. A highlight. 👌
  - All in all worthwhile.. not bad for an off-year!

  NOt my cup of tea. classic Italian wine, dusty, dry, little fruit. Could hardly stand up white pizza. Sangiovese CAN be lovely but it's rare - at least for the prices of top Brunello also
