In a very fast decline. Super elegant and tertiary on the nose, but the fruit has collapsed leaving behind an alcohol that is too dominant. Drink up fast.

Immediately after pouring the wood is just too strong here. Otherwise, pretty classic Italian stuff. Hard red and dark red candy, florals, big rustic tannins, some perfume. It's attractive but needs to shake that wood. Will give it some air and retest.
Day 2- It's smoothed out considerably, but only retains the rustic italian tone, losing the fruit and perfume. Smooth but uninteresting. 88 isn.

First time tasting a wine from this producer. Decanted. Dark garnet-plum in color. Nice nose of primary fruit. Lots of cherry. Intense tannins on opening that resolve a bit with air. Well made, good structure, nice mouthfeel and balance. A good wine, but will I seek it out in the future? Not so sure.

Dark, spicy secondary fruit, tobacco, gravel. Quite meaty and rough; delicious with spiced lamb.
