Dark inky ruby in the glass. Let it decant 3 hours before enjoying. Violet, red cherry new leather and espresso on the nose. Buckets of acidity to taste with strong tanning, cherry and fresh strawberry with syruoy finish. Great complexity and luscious fresh fruit with lot of age ahead

I think this a 100pt-er first for me. Decanted for 5 hrs as recommended below. Such a beautiful wine. Nothing really to add existing comments. The 2016 vintage was heralded as one of the greats but less readily open as the 2015, so on that basis I can’t wait to see where this goes! This definitely has the bones of something amazing.

Outstanding. It took a particularly long time to open up, as others have noted. In its sixth hour it really came to life. Have patience. I'm going to leave the other 5 for a few years. 94++

Do not taste this prior to the 6th hour of decanting
Then, you will experience an other-worldly Sangiovese.
So much complexity and mystery that eludes narrow description.
Lives up to the hype and reputation..
