Absolutely singing right now. Perfume of Sangiovese on the nose; deeply integrated and mellowed tannins and long finish that you never want to end… A brunello all-star!

Light body with good acidity, not overpowering. Nice balance between fruit and minerality. Classic Nebbiolo without much oak impression. Color and body reminiscent of Cental Coast Pinot.
Enjoyable now, will get interesting in a few more years.

more like a heavy granache on the nose and front palate than syrah - the wine was flat out of the cellar but came around a bit with some time and temp increase. Enjoyable but not the profile I remembered from its youth, so I will presume this is now past its prime or in a dead zone. Drink now, as the acidity and tannins are there that suggest additional age provide much benefit.
