September 29, 2019 - Difficult to begin with. Needs time in the cellar or a decent decant. PNP, I could only drink a small glass and put the rest of the bottle aside for 2 days, opening something else instead.
On day 2 it was better. Seemed to be more Sangiovese in style with higher acidity that calls for this to be partnered with food rather than enjoyed on its own right now otherwise, like some Chianti Classico this would seem a little thin and sharp in places.
Will revisit my other bottle in a few years
