1 hr+ decant. Beautifully evolved peak Paulliac, balance of dark berry and nuanced secondary characteristics. No bricking from this magnum, deep ruby color. Violets, Corinthian leather, and boysenberry nose. Plenty of grip on the long lush finish.

Opened for my birthday. Double decanted. Dark ruby color with little visual signs of aging. Nose was very tight, some flat black currant & smoke. Full on the tongue, but not a lot going on flavor wise monolithic with still pronounced tannic finish at 20+ years old. Debated if this was mildly corked, since it just didn't seem to have it - the elements of a nice wine were there, but I expected a lot more.

Quite enjoyable especially for the price. BDX blend adds some depth and balances out the bright Sangiovese. Better the 2nd day.
