  This is such a beautiful wine with incredible qpr. My last 750 (I have a few magnums remaining). The nose is scorched earth and anise, with dark cherry and some lovely floral notes. The palate is medium bodied (a nice balanced 13.5% abv), with fine but very supportive tannins and balanced acidity. The tannins dry the finish out just a hair.

  Tasted after a 3 hour decant.
  Color: deep garnet with ruby edges
  Nose: generous aroma of berries, wood and ?bergamot
  Palate: nicely balanced tannins and acidity. Layered flavors of dark fruit and generous spice.
  This is really good right now and has another 2-3 years of being close to its peak.
  Enjoyed with tagliatelle and Bolognese.

  Tangy dark red fruit, wet earth, and tobacco. The fruit is saturating, but with the transparency of classic Sangiovese. In a good place now, but the firm tannins and impeccable balance suggest that this has a long life ahead.

  Was a bit closed up out of the bottle. Nicer after an hour of aur
  Tart cherry, but I wouldn't say sour. Perhaps some cinnamon and other spices here. Well balanced at this point. Bright and acidic, which stands up to robust dishes. Medium-long finish with nice tannins that show up late and stick around for a bit.
