  My second time tasting this wine, and just as good as the first. My wine sat in a decanter for three hours, and then I poured. The blend is 50/50 Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. I think that I like this better than a Brunello because it has more backbone and a layer of complexity that a Brunello doesn't have. Is it worth $45 a bottle? You bet!

  50/50 Cabernet/Sangiovese. At 8 years of age, this is ready to go now with a short decant. The Cabernet comes through pretty clearly on the nose, meat and mushroom notes. Smooth tannins at this point and I’d say prime drinking window is now plus 3.

  My second time tasting a Poggio Antico wine and I'm impressed. My wine sat in a decanter for five hours and then I poured it into a Pinot glass. This is a very smooth wine with little tannin. I think that it is a better wine than the 2015 Poggio Antico Brunello that I tasted recently. It is definitely worth $45 a bottle, and I plan to purchase some more.

  Didn't read the TN/reviews in advance but similar to SS's impressions and not nearly as high on it as WA94+ and JS94. Enjoyed over Italian lunch, likely needed more of a decant but paired very nicely with food. Leather, tobacco, and plummy fruits with touches of spice, but felt a little reserved and even flat at times on the finish. Yummy but not yet hitting the mark, especially at the $40 price point, perhaps a year or 2 more of integration helps.
