  Took about 45 minutes to open. Good acidity and definitely some tannin. Rustic, earthy nose, but not funky. Would buy again.

  Just not yet ready.
  Closed in the mouth, even after three hours of air. Sour cherries, which resonates well with food but not for drinking by itself. This is my second bottle - a magnum today - of this vintage in this mould.
  Worst case this turns old before it gets better. Base case, this takes at least a further three years - and likely five - before it really balances out. The quality of the fruit supports this.

  After a one hour decant, I found this wine to be very approachable with a beautiful bouquet in the glass, a solid core of sour cherry fruit, a classic yet modern version of Brunello due to the fruit concentration. I’m used to Il Poggione being built in a more rustic style so this bottle surprised me tonight. Maybe vintage dependent? Nevertheless, I really enjoyed it.
