  October 2, 2016 - PnP with slight evolution over 3 nights. Rusty, garnet. Nose features cherry-like fruit with some dried herbs and hint of tar. Palate has medium-light fruit weight with rustic tannins and fairly bracing acidity. Old school for sure and made for the table; of place. On subsequent nights this was more expressive and began leaning towards rounder, but remained fairly austere.

  May 8, 2015 - Quite deep colour, decent nose. Good fruit on the palate but plenty of tannin, still.
  Quite austere at first without food - the wine was made for, and needs, food.
  It opened gradually in the glass and showed good length. I think it will age for longer than the 2014-2016 ''drink between' suggestion.
  With food, later, this was a different wine and much more impressive. Greatly improved, softer, sweeter fruit and much more complex. I have not put a rating number because wines like this are impossible for me to assess fairly 'cold' without food.
  Tasted at Grand Union Wine Society with Ben Robson of Bat & Bottle.

  October 8, 2014 - zu tanninig. Er duftet herrlich nach Sauerkirschen, mit Thymian und Rosmarin. Am Gaumen wirkt er elegant, verspielt und zu kraftvoll. In der Struktur hat er die durchtrainierte, straffe Struktur eines Rufina - Umschreibung fuer zuviel Tannin. Es ist wieder ein puristischer Sangiovese aus relativ hoch gelegenen Weinbergen im Rufina.
