Dark red. Did not really give very much up, though there is probably a decent wine lurking behind the gritty foursquare tannins. I'm hoping for better on day 2. So still quite backward and in need of seemingly much more time - there has not been much development since my first bottle from the case in March 2022. Not much pleasure here at the moment. (Score of 87, such that this matters, based on the here and now rather than the potential)

Served with Putanesca. Clear violet color, with aromas of black fruits, tobacco and graphite. Flavor is moderate acidity and tannic body. Moderate CC wine.

Still quite ruby - little sign of aging. Cherries dominate the nose with some cinnamon spice and earth. Palate similar. Powdery tannins. Fresh acidity balances the fruit and the alcohol, which is well integrated (doesn’t feel like 14.5%). Medium+ finish. Drinking well now but has the structure to age for a few years. Very good quality.

Tasted 24 hours after it was opened and re-corked. Lush, full, and generous. Soft and open. Elegant.

Full bodied, black fruit and quite a bit of tannic grip. Finishes quite short. Not sure I'd identify this as Sangiovese blind.
Hope its the vintage, but not sad I didn't buy more of this.
