It’s ok but a notable step down from the contrada bottlings (Feudo, San Lorenzo, etc). Give it at least a few hours. Probably best to lay down a few years but this is not a bottle I’d buy in quantity. It’s very representative of the style but the underlying material quality doesn’t compare to the premium bottlings.

This bottle has come into its own. I only wish I bought a case. This was my 3rd of 5 and will note a major improvement over the prior 2. Excelllent floral bouquet and soil tone aromatics. No signs of bricking. Tannins more or less fully resolved. Prime drinking window and looking forward to watching further positive evolution.

Too bad. The first bottle was fine. This has the sherry-like quality with a rancid hit. There’s a well-made wine underneath it all.
