3/6, vg cork. Decnated 1/2 hr. Medium/deep garnet, pale garnet rim. Classic nose of sour red cherry, spice. Fresh. Medium, bodied, sour red cherry to the fore again, spice, quite linear with fine tannins, vibrant acidity and a tangy good length finish. Very good indeed, drinking well, should be good for another 5 years,

A lovely and soft wine that demonstrates the finesse of Italian wines, in general. Ripe currants, almost fruity even after 10 years. And the wine doesn’t even need to travel the full length of your pallet before revealing it’s full character. It wants to be appreciatively sipped.

Firm and structured. I can relate to one of the previous comments about the iron fist in a velvet glove analogy but I get both the backbone of the fist and the fruit under neath Feel like this was opened a bit too early but will re-cork and try tomorrow

Wow, apparently I drank my other bottle too soon (see my note of January 2018). This bottle was really singing now. Really intense sangiovese flavors but no heaviness, and a slight sweet touch to top it off. Great wine and at peak imo. With this kind of performance, this is a real QPR winner for me. Sadly, my last bottle

Offered blind te me : the Sangiovese was obvious, the sweet touch made me look into Montepulciano. Very pure expression with a nice accidity.
