Just entering its drinkable window (a previous bootle 2 years ago was not worthy) this Sagrantino still has slightly taut tannins for my taste but acid and fruit are in good balance. Love these $30 wines that drink like $75 wines once aged 6-12 years.

My last bottle consumed probably past its peak. Tannins close to gone, fruit fading leaving a (too) prominent role for acidity. Shorter than previous bottle, could be bottle variety but not glorious anymore.

An excellent bottle that was more open and less tannic than past experiences. Gorgeous, dark fruit and overall, really tasty.

Earthy and driven by secondary flavors. Still drinking well, but not going to get any better.
