bottle and fill excellent, cork was sound but inexorably stuck in bottle and had to be extracted in bits. This is a big, tannic wine. Licorice, leather, mulberry, amaro. It tightened up after 30 minutes or so. Excellent with pasta and meatballs - should live a very long time.

Opened for three hours. Great with grilled ribeye. Perfectly integrated, but less rich and lush, even less bold, than the 2001 Trevor Jones Shiraz Wild Witch Reserve Dry Grown that preceded it. Still an outstanding Sagrantino; drink 'em if you got 'em.

Dark fruit (cherry, blueberry), spice, tannins, earth, tobacco, good acidity. Lingering finish. Really enjoyable. Could use a few more years.
