  Sangiovese study, Volume II (Chicago, IL): Served blind in a flight of Biondi-Santi. This seemed to be the victim of poor storage -- muddled and brown, with some soy notes as well. Some modest herbal tones on the nose.

  Cork was saturated in the bottom 1/3 but still came out in one piece. Color was candy apple red with a nice dark core. Pretty nose of raspberry liqueur, rose petals, and mushrooms. Medium- to light-body on the palate with flavors that resembled dried fruit, dried herbs, and a sip of cranberry juice. Drinks best with food.

  Brought to a friend's house for a small gathering. This wine followed a '97 Lignier. Cork was in great shape. Pop and poured but allowed a bit of time in the glass. Color was what I expected - bricking on the edges but mostly a candy apple. Nose was very shy. Had to swirl that glass a few times to get a dark cherry liqueur, dried red fruit. Palate was fairly straightforward - more savory like jerky, dried oregano, with a bit of red fruit acidity. Bottle was an auction purchase last month.

  Beautiful complex nose of red fruit and cedar. Very pretty and best of flight compared to ‘88, and ‘97

  Followed in the decanter for over 8 hours, this went through a number of phases. At first, this showed faded red cherry, cardamom, old leather, and a meaty umami note. After 2 hours in the decanter, became much more youthful, developing black cherry, cola, and mint aromas; the leather and cured meat becomes more pronounced - it shows a little like you might expect from Sangiovese. From hour 3-4, there's a slow slide back to where it started. 93ish at peak.
