Dark red smooth medium body wine. Nose offered a bit of fig fruit. Wine delivered a mouthful of plum, black cherry and blueberry fruit with a hint of molasses. Very nice finish. My business club's wine steward said "wow" when he had a sip.

I'm a bit out of my comfort zone with Sangiovese but still enjoyed this bottle though I would not classify this as an elite wine - and certainly not at current release prices. The wine had a nice red brick color, showing it's age gracefully. Nose was a bit soft at first - some menthol, evolving into baking spices, ripe cherry and cinnamon, all very pleasant. The wine definitely benefited from a bit of air because the second glass (hour+ later) exhibited some rounder, fruitier notes that integrated all the elements a bit better. Last glass was even better. Medium acidity (which is always my thing with Tuscans - bit too much for me). Enjoyable, likely won't rush out to buy more though.

Plenty of spicy, peppery fruit. Lovely rounded mouthfeel and more supple tannins than on the prior bottle I tried 2 years ago. Still a big wine and needs some aeration. Ageing well.

Super bottle of wine! Deep dark red full body wine (13.5%). Nice nose but a wonderful melody of Bing cherry, plum and blue berries. Very long finish.
