March 23, 2013 - Very light Rosso with good leather and earthiness. There is also bright cherry fruit, typical of Sangiovese. However, this wine seemed thin and there are a lot of tannins to wade through on the finish. The guy in the store said it would take 3-5 more years in the bottle to tame the tannins, but I am not sure the fruit will last that long.

February 18, 2013 - First experience with a 2010 Montalcino wine, and a good one. This is drinking like a baby Brunello - strong dose of smoked meat on the nose, carrying over to the palate with bright cherry flavors. Medium-bodied but well-rounded, with minimal acidity. Paired beautifully with a NY Strip Steak. Bodes well for this vintage in general...
