March 2, 2024 - Nice aromas of rustic red fruit and forest floor. Very pure expression of Sangiovese. Approachable tannin, medium+ body, clean. Long finish of macerated cherry and a touch of tar. Very enjoyable and will pair nicely with food.

October 16, 2023 - -- decanted 30 min. before initial taste --
-- tasted non-blind over 1.5 hrs. --
NOSE: earthy/red fruits/savory mix; hint of rubbed leather; little bit grapey; pretty expressive (not tight).
BODY: violet-cranberry color of medium-deep depth; medium-light bodied; conglomerate cork.
TASTE: medium+ acidity; cherries for days! -- sweet cherry, cherry Icee; some medium-fine, drying tannins; savory on the finish, and a touch grapey, but mostly cherries; not overtly oaky; 13.5% alc. not noticeable; hint of baked raspberries. Both Ash and I liked this a lot. Although I enjoy Chianti, it seems my Hit rate on them is well below 50% --- this one's a clear winner. Will definitely re-buy. Drink Now and over the medium term.
