  I gave this bottle about 4 hours after popping the cork. Much in line with the previous note as experienced on the 2nd day.
  
  This wine was a brilliant match to the Venision filet with red wine sauce we had!

  Quest to complete my tasting of all DOCG of Italy; 6/5/2020-8/31/2020 (Home in NL and holiday home in Maremma / Italy): The first glas right after popping the cork had nice aromas, comparable to the notes below, only a lot more emphasis on the smokey character (almost Islay whiskey like!). But was a bit disjointed and almost lean on the palate. We decided to leave the bottle for the next day. This was a good decision!
  
  The next day the aromas had evolved a little but the biggest change was noticeable on the palate. A big jump from a ‘okayish’ 86pt to a solid 91pt in my book!
  
  Yet another interesting discovery on my DOCG exploration path.
  
  Very deep ruby color, almost black at the core. Full aromas of cherry, ripe blackcurrant, smoke and some cedar. Full bodied with grippy-smooth mouth coating tannins, ripe fruit and balanced acidity. The finish keeps on lingering and has a spicy-bitter zing to it.
  Already well integrated but still some good structure left to perhaps develop a little more complexity. Drink now - 2027
  
  
  Probably just a little short on complexity right now to reach truly great territories in my book. But if you like them bold and grippy, give this wine some timein the bottle after popping the cork, or give it a good decant, and you will be rewarded with a great wine!

  It's ok. Unbalanced but not undrinkable.

  Pruney and quite advanced. Reminds me of a Touriga than a Aglianco. Not sure if this is a representative bottle. Good thing I did not pay the original sticker price.

  Strong palate of leather, tobacco cigars, slight raisin, and dark earth. Minimal fruit. Dark, brooding and earthy. May need more time. Re-visit in 3-5 years or more.
