Good fruit and concentration. Plenty of tannin. But developing that funky, off-putting nose that older Italian wines seem to get. That nose wore off some as the bottle was consumed, but overall it was a mediocre drinking experience.

The timing was right with this wine, but the flavors were simply not what I wanted, or was recalling from Aglianicos I drank in Italy. Disappointing.

Decanted to 2+ hours. Very tannic and disjointed. Will let sit on the counter until day 2. Not very good right now.

Beautifully balanced. Plenty of fruit and still smooth wood tannins. Drank with a good friend who is an Italian chef... we all loved it.
