Very nice, pure and rich. Stewed dark fruits on the nose, I get plum/prune (and maybe fig) and soft, silty tannins on the palete. I doubt this will get better, but it's drinking very nicely now with decanting and a bit of air. Long finish, acidic enough for food (we had with veal and pasta with oil), but not aggressive at all.

Gorgeous Sangiovese. Definitely not your light bodied, high acid Sangiovese. This has some body and heft with very soft tannins that coated the palate. Wonderfully fragrant nose. Loved it.

500 ml. bottle.
Very nice. Some dense mid palate with meaty elements. Drinking well but still could go another five to seven years in the cellar.

Hasn't changed much from the last time. Little bit of a bite on the finish. Decanted for 1.5 hours.

Getting better with each bottle. 2009 is drinking very well right now.

Big fruit, nice structure. Love the bottle format, but that isn't important here.
