  Light colour, cherry nose, chocolate, leather, a bit muted. Bitter tannins that overpower the fruit on the palate. May benefit from more air.
  
  Edit - Revisited the next day and notable improvement. Clearly this just needs more air than day 1. More fruit, subdued tannins, reduced bitterness. Up to 87.

  PnP, and ready to go, though it probably would have shown even better (I can say this now, after the fact) had I aerated for 30-60 minutes. One of my consistent favorites from within the San Donato in Poggio subzone, this year's iteration is the same as most: red fruited, bright, fresh, transparent, with all the textbook aromas and flavors; understated beauty. If I had better access to these wines in FL, I'd make this a case buy, for sure. Organically farmed, medium-bodied, and always an excellent partner to food. 14,0% abv.; drink now and the next 5-6 years for optimum enjoyment. Really solid value, as always. recommended+
