  Still beautifully balanced with 1 hour decanting. Served with salmon puttanesca.

  This was silky, polished and elegant with bight dark cherry fruit. The bottle quickly disappeared. Stunned at the quality here.

  Still in a very good place - Perfect pairing with lasagna bolognese.

  Definitely a lot of fruit. Dark cherry. Almost a Rhône character of fruit and herb. Good tannic structure too. Pasta with red sauce, lasagna. Too dark for cacio e pepe.
  
  Had a few more times. A little too sweet/fruit for my Italian wine tastes. But maybe have just moved to prefer Montalcino to Chianti? Will pass for now."
