  A magnum taken to Naramata to serve with friends and my sister. Served with a Tuscan inspired meal I cooked.
  
  Surprisingly dark red. Intense plum, earth and spicy black cherry nose. Dry dense earthy plum and cherry flavours and a rich dry finish.
  
  I thought some age would round this out but it is an atypical San Marcellino.

  DnP. Dark mature red, yellow edged, 5.5. Seductive mature bouquet, loads of tertiary stuff, sweetness from casks. Well balanced palate, m-T, m-A, m+B, ripe red fruits, long spicy finish. Drink now-onwards.

  Firm and fairly unyielding in a good way. Just lovely structure with a dark, brooding core of acids and fruits that seem too young right now. A beautiful drink. Fantastic Chianti. Pure and righteous keep or hold very very good with enough air this is impeccable Total wine Congratulations Marco

  I love this producer. Never had a bad one. Great wine at a reasonable price. Absolutely lovely, if you are a Chianti drinker. Top notch!

  I was worried about this wine when I first opened it, a blast of toasty, almost dilly new oak had overwhelmed whatever fruit remained. And I recall how voluptuous this wine was in its youth, lots of baby fat, and at a time when I was more forgiving of stylistic differences than I am today. With some air, the fruit opened up and was much deeper and more complex, and the oak receded, to some extent. But the overwhelming reaction was a hot vintage that had too much oak influence and was not the way I like to enjoy sangiovese, even if well-made given those circumstances. I'm curious what the house style has become more recently, as I can't recall having any of these recently.
