Amazing wine, so much depth, complexity, tension! Beautiful expression of Sangiovese! Wines like this show that Sangiovese can easily compete with the great wines of Barolo and Burgundy. Intense aromas of faded roses, spicy tobacco, saddle leather, along with stone, dried cranberries, wild cherries and a plethora of balsamic underwood. The fruit is intact, showing power and texture despite 13% alcohol, with a silky, broad mid palate, and polished, gorgeous tannins. Not a reticent wine by any means, truly remarkable and enjoyable!
Revisited 18 hours later, still very lively, slightly evolved to a less pungent aromatic spectrum and a more relaxed palate intensity, remaining though a spectacular wine!

Dark inky hue. Deep dark berry nose with hints of vanilla. After a little time to breathe, the deepness chills out. Earthy, eucalyptus, grassy, barn yard, medium bodied. Very enjoyable with food. Drinking very nicely at this time.

Drank at Tudor Hall, King George Hotel. Aromas of leather, forest floor, raspberry and strawberry. Tastes of cedar and bright red fruit. I love you!!! The complexity with age!
