An exceptional experience - soft, lush and flavorful but still carrying sufficient acidity and tannins to be recognizable. Dark fruit, leather and balsamic on the nose. In the mouth, soft and caressing flavors - again dark fruit. Black cherry and aged balsa wood. Soft menthol, a touch of black licorice. Tannins are lovely and the finish is long and altogether gorgeous. Shared with friends and we all enjoyed. Some sediment. I see some notes suggesting this wine is past its prime. My bottle was at the height of its powers and is likely to hold another five years. The rest of my bottles won’t see 2030.

Not as good as previous bottle. Final glass showed improvement but that was only an hour or so after opening. Should have reviewed my previous TN!

Better on night two, so maybe not peaked?

Confirming my last note about this wine.
Ina perfect drinking window. Acidity+, a touch of funky nose that is typical in Il Poggione.
A very pleasant experience.

Decanted one hour. Drank over two hours. Held up well. This wine has more time.
