Finally, a good bottle after several that were lacking. Herbal and complex nose and ample fruit on the palate where previous bottles were thin and lacking. Perhaps I opened this in a dumb phase before, although I have generally found the rosso to be approachable throughout its life.

translucent ruby color with the earliest bit of bricking at the rims. the usual tuscan brush showed on a savory nose along with dust, balsamic, roasted cherries, and fennel. light to medium bodied with a sort of sour acidity. lithe, elegant mouthfeel. fruit a bit thin on the palate at first, though this gained a body with air and a couple of hours. sour cherry fruit and earth on the palate. medium length finish with scattered dusty tannins clinging for life. just a bit of astringency there. started feeling thin and lacking but gradually rounded into a tasty, pretty wine. not one to pair with steak or hearty sauces, honestly did better as a wine of contemplation later in the evening. i've had plenty of wines from the maker. almost all have been spectacular, and while good, this one falls a bit short of that.

Dinner with the wine group (Sole Ristorante, San Mateo): Medium aromatics, red bell pepper, red fruit, savory; palate is medium bodied, balanced alcohol, medium tannins, youthful but with some savory complexity, red fruit, some forest leaves; finish is medium length. Very nice, drinking well now. 90-91

Loved it! Gave it a double decant plus an extra couple hours B4 dinner which melded the tannins, added weight, elegance and aromatics. Beautiful from our Reidel Burgs. Drank in high 50s/low 60s. Has the fruit purity, complexity and elegance I hoped for from PdS. Only a modest step down from the BdM. 13% alc.
