Decanted for sediment. Medium ruby color. Nose of red cherries, raspberry, hint of baking spice, touch of herbal cough drop. Similar flavors on the palate. Medium+ acidity, medium tannin and body. Finish is perhaps a touch short. Wine might be a little tight still and can maybe use some additional bottle time. Very tasty wine and paired perfectly with pasta in a spicy sardine sauce.

Oaky on the pop, took a day to blow off. Then it revealed a fleshy ok contrada. Red fruit, herb, ash, nothing exceptional here, but better than some of the recent Santo Spirito efforts and oak is well folded in compared to those fails

Comprehensive Tenuta delle Terre Nere (Chicago, IL): Shows lighter and more lifted than the 2019, with again a focus more on strawberry and red fruit. Good salinity here as well. Really liked how readily drinkable this was.

Very nice QPR for this one. Rhubarb, cherry, dried flowers. Great structure as well. Got better after 1 hour or so in the bottle. Would keep the next for 3-4 years. 90p+
