Still going this wine but I don't see any benefit from further ageing. Cherry driven Sangiovese fruit with a slightly sour edge creeping in. Always a good value wine but I would drink up.

Consistent with previous note. Still fresh but in a perfect place. Nicely fleshed out with cherry plum fig herbs umami on the nose and palate. Lingering figgy herbal tobacco sour cherry finish. Huge cellar value.
