  Still very tannic, I think the score improves with more bottle age. I decanted for 3-4 hours before serving, and what you experience is very luxurious sangiovese made in a classic style. Hold for 5 more years

  Colour and noise showing clearer sign of aging than I expected. 91-92 points for the first hour. Then it retracted some. Or maybe I did?

  Decanted at home then again at restaurant. Young fruit nearly perfume, minimal alcohol on the nose. Impeccable balance full bodied with melded tannin. Long long finish as it opened over 2 hours. Obviously a young wine with great potential. Wish I had more. Bought on spectrum auction around $90. Will look for more.

  Sangiovese and Brunello tasting for my 38th birthday (Wine Taste Gdansk): 👀 Quite dark garnet color.
  👃 Very mature fruits, herbs and sweet spices, definitely too much sweetness. A little dirty smell which was not so pleasant.
  👅 Very aggressive tannins, not enough balanced by the med+ acidity.
  🏁 Long finish but a too much is happening on this wine. Someone at the table talked about a not perfect bottle, for me it was definitely very yound and not balance, but with potential to be better in 5-10 years.

  Big wine, lots of dark fruits. This is very young. It's massive. This is a great wine. I would like to try again in five years.
