  April 15, 2014 - Still going strong. Sorry that it's my last bottle. Nice spicy nose, cherry cola on the palate.

  Earthy and muscular, just a little smoky.

  May 18, 2012 - This wine was nice surprise for $13.99 on sale. Had a slightly inky appearance, the nose was tremendously fruit-forward and the taste was bramble and very fruit-forward, blackberry. A touch of tannin, can't tell if this saw much oak. It sort of had the nose and taste of a Cab, but fruitier...not complaining. We liked it and the bottle was gone before we knew it; only thing I would say is I question how varietally correct this Sangiovese was. That said, for this wine, for this price, for this taste, I'm buying more. I agree with the prior notes that decanting and aeration help, and that this wine is only now coming into its own. I would think it would not have opened up much before now.
