SangioFest, Volume III "It's my favourite spot" (Chicago, IL): Just not a wine that should be opened anytime soon. A big, burly structure that feels very unyielding and stern, despite the delicious, bright red fruit on the nose and palate. It feels a little clumsy right now, but there's clearly plenty of material that just needs time to fully express itself. Impressive for its stature and potential right now.

A very nice wine, but not a transcendent one, nor quite justifying the price. Shimmering, ripe, delicious red fruit and a healthy kick of acidity despite the vintage made for a delightful wine to drink, but I didn't see anything on offer that you couldn't have got from (e.g.) Potazzine Brunello.

Big, rich and bright aromas of chocolate, anise, bright red fruits. Palate starts our dry, with limited weight on mid palate but long young finish. Bigger, warmer and bolder than this wine is in its better vintages; will try again in a year.

Opened for 30 minutes. Color is translucent ruby. On the nose: Kirsch, rose, strawberry and some licorice. On the palate: Kirsch, rose, orange zest and licorice . Can feel the tannins a bit on the finish. Nice acidity. Decent length. Very young , needs more time to open up… but this is really a beautiful wine. The flavors are really beautiful. I have had this wine (different vintage) on Lake Como before at dinner and I am transported back there right now. I would give this a few years to age but really worth a try.

樱桃、覆盆子、甘草、紫罗兰,一点香草、灌木和松露的气息。香气还未发展得足够非常清晰,但是层次感已经很好,呈现方式也很优雅,围绕良好的酸度构建了悠然和谐的氛围。单宁细腻而丰富,有如天鹅绒般的质感,和酒精一起组成了优雅背后的支撑力量。而随着时间变化,酸度在口中的扩张变得更加明显,举重若轻地承载着单宁的强劲,优雅与阳刚的力量相互交融,如潮生潮落。
