Opened this on Friday after Thanksgiving and after a 2 hr decant it didn’t last long. It’s a firm almost ‘meaty’ Sangiovese with black fruit, and a vibrant bouquet of blackberry and wood smoke. I think I’d describe this as a dynamic Brunello compared to the more layered and opulent Casanova di Neri I had the previous week. Medium tannins and a long finish. I think this right in its drinking window and will be good for another 5-7 years.

Lovely. Almost like a Cote Rotie in style. Gentle but persistent fruit, a hint of bacon, a crust of pepper, a meaty undertone, a spike of minerality, and a persistent herby stemmy note with mild long tannins. There's a sweetness, moreso than a northern Rhone, that softens the edge of the acid. Delicious and good QPR, because the quality is very high.

During a Paulee tasting and dinner so only brief impressions. This was a very positive surprise. Elegant, sappy with deep aromatics around game, musk, earthy tones and red fruit.
