  No formal note, but it formally left a big impression on me. Certainly in the zone now, with a profuse nose of ripe red and crispy black fruits painted with broad strokes on a chiseled soil canvas. The acids are subtle, at first, but it wastes no timing revealing the informing/dominant grape, Sangiovese. This is NOT your father's Sangiovese, it's on another level, but it's also not gratuitous or styled. Memorable, deeply pleasing, with something for everyone, I think. Sadly my final bottle. 13,5% abv., drink thru 2025. highly recommended

  Similar profile to previous but rather muted, perhaps corked, or just a little old.

  I served this in my wine course. Outstanding! This is my type of wine when it comes to red. Incredibly complex high pitched nose. Light bodied, high acidity with a very long finish. Very elegant, light and airy, while at the same time being intense in its smells and flavors. Loads of minerality combined with light red berries and floral smells. No detectable oak. Drank well out of a large riedel Burgundy glass.
