Surprised this was falling off so quickly. A quality 9 year old WA should be better at this point. Opened mid day to pull a cup out for homemade sauce for some homemade lasagna. Let it slow ox with the cork out until dinner, about 3 hours. Poured from the bottle into a glass at that point. First glass seemed "tight" and still needed to open some. As it sat in the glass started to "open" up. Fruit started to open up and could start to get some nuances out of it. By the end of the second glass it was "ok" but not what a Saggi normally would be. Put a cork in the bottle until the next night. Second night all fruit was gone. Mostly alcohol and indistinguishable as to what varietal it was.

This Super Tuscan style blend never fails.

Seems to be a lot of bottle variation
Seven years ago, I thought this had a couple of years at best. Today, it appears to be good for another five years or more
Two hours open, served through vinturi. Serious round acidity holding everything together

Undrinkable the first day (dominated by acids and tannins), but good the 2nd day (inerted).
