  Wow!
  This wine was absolutely beautiful at the restaurant last night.
  Decanted, as it should be, this wine is probably close to its peak though in no danger of dropping off. Minimal browning in hue, great intensity and complexity.
  Clearly a full-bodied wine but without being heavy. Sufficient acidity to keep a nice focus. Just stunning...

  Decanted 2-3x with aerator. Let sit for 2 hours. Could certainly open more (or stand a few more years of age) but drinking really wonderfully.
  
  Stilly tannic, Filled with Darcy fruit and savory notes like grilled meat. Definitely one to drink with food, esp something fatty like ribs.

  Double decanted for five hours and benefited this wine by softening the initially harsh tannins. A very dark color verging on black, full bodied with the earthy, intense flavors went well with slow cooked braised lamb and clearly showed this is a wine that is best with food. A rare opportunity to drink a mature top Sagrantino wine.

  By the glass. Preliminary and see if clarifies my mind ... in my cellar I have a 2005 bottle that is also an anniversary. How long has the anniversary lasted? Weren't they clear about the founding vintage? It seems like a joke ... On the other hand I am glad that my bottle is still laying down because this has to evolve a lot yet. At least to be able to be drunk without pain. On the nose a lot of ripe black fruit and in the mouth firmness and density in abundance. Indestructible tannic structure and a lot of oak. Better if you wait another ten years minimum.
  
  Por copas. De forma preliminar y a ver qué me aclare ... en mi bodeguita tengo una botella 2005 que también es aniversario. ¿Cuánto tiempo ha durado el aniversario? ¿No tenían claro la añada fundacional? Parece todo una broma ... Por otra parte me alegra que mi botella siga tumbada porque esto tiene que evolucionar mucho todavía. Al menos para poder beberla sin dolor. En nariz mucha fruta negra madura y en boca firmeza y densidad a raudales. Estructura tánica indestructible y un montón de roble. Hay que esperar otros diez años mínimo.

  Drinking beautifully. Decanted but suggest decanting 2+ hours. Tasted with lamb. Definitely serve with food and preferably grilled meat.
