Opened and decanted for approximately 1.5 hours; it could have used more time to open. It was dense for a Sangiovese with mineral and herb. Subtle dark fruit with solid tannins that would carry the bottle for at least another 10 years. Fairly well balanced. Overall, a very nice bottle of wine, not stellar, and not worth the price of admission ($56) in my book.

This bottle seemed a bit mature, with tar, raisiny black cherry, rustic mouthfeel with sage and chunky tannins. Still complex and satisfying if not as silky as before.

This wine took an hour to open and when it did all felt it was worth the wait. It paired well with the Veal Marsala

Time to drink, as the fruit is becoming more raisiny, with tar and leather. Tannins are resolved.
