October 14, 2022 - The sweet, rustic nose features incredibly deep maraschino cherry, strawberry, pipe tobacco, menthol, and clove. Nearly full-bodied with dense, finely grained tannin and pleasantly juicy acid, the structure is refined and elegant while the flavors, which have a slightly sweet edge, include beautifully-dialed tobacco and leather, cherry, black tea (that lives inside the tannins), blackberry, Chinese Five Spice, lavender, and dried mint. With about an hour of air exposure, the tannins smooth (but remain pleasantly grained) and broaden, further purifying the fruit and moving it to the forefront. I have no prior experience with sagratino so I can't speak to whether it will further evolve or develop, but if drinking right now I think a 30 minute decant is in order.

October 8, 2016 - So in my wheelhouse. This is just exciting, the composition of flavors and layers of fruits is, for me, approaching magical. I admit bias to this producer and the grape, and I further admit that tannins are seldom if ever a problem. That said, I did not want this bottle to end. I will visit here in just a few months, and this made me consider staying in the area for another day for no other reason than to find local restaurants that might have a good cache of these wines and open two or three and bask in the pleasure of it all - it can't be all work, after all.
Aerated in decanter 90 minutes, served non-blind.

November 13, 2010 - Nicks birthday. I loved this wine. Medium bodied with lively acidity and beautiful fruit. Pencil shavings. Needed a bit of air.
