  Ripe plum nose. Ripe almost overripe plum on the tongue initially. Raspberry as well. Still fruity after a 30-45 minute decant. Really excellent and drinking well at the moment.

  Brick red color;
  A touch funky upon opening, about 45 minutes later, it is hitting its stride. Beautifully mature Sangiovese that still retains a good deal of fruit. Dried cranberry, black cherry, a tiny bit of candied grape. Lots of secondary flavors: leather, roast nuts, cedar box. Acidity is moderate, and smoothed tannins undergird the whole effort.
  
  Surprisingly good for its age.

  time to drink up bottles if you have any left, nice maturity, classic sangiovese, unfortunately was drunk next to marroneto bdm riserva 85 that was unbelievably good, overshadowing this wine

  PNP, dropping a little bit quickly, maybe because of vintage?

  Fully mature, seems past its apogee; fruit showing a little dryness through the middle. Medium-bodied, good purity, avg complexity/length. Time to drink up, can't see this improving.
  
  45 minutes in decanter, served non-blind.
