  From magnum. This really needs a very long decant to show its best - even 3hrs after decanting the nose was very funky. With 6hrs of air we had a nose of sour cherry, rose petal, forest floor, leather and balsamic. Rich and layered. Palate or raspberry and black cherry, drying and tarry tannins - austere and serious. Long spiced finish of green herbs and clove. Deep, brooding and complex Sangiovese.

  Seemed like a flat bottle. Not bad, just not exciting.

  FROM MAGNUM:
  Color: Bricked ruby core
  Smell: Tobacco, earth, dried red fruits, clove, leather, and
  Taste: Dried red and dark fruits with a bit of the oak showing...yet not overwhelming the palate.
  Overall: Outstanding!! Med body, med+ fruit, high acidity, medium- tannin, and moderate length finish. This is a wine for those that love aged Sangiovese. I can see this lasting another 5-7 years in magnum with good storage. However, my cork was completely saturated in this magnum, so it may be best to check in on and crack a bottle now if you still have some in the cellar. Drink in the next 1-3 years from 750ml.

  Still needs to open up. Dark fruit. Nice Sangiovese nose. Soft tannins

  Very very good once the farmyard had blown off. Cork seeping. Really good. Taste and smell as per recent notes from others.
