No notes but this was quite special, mature Sangiovese, nearing the end of its drinking plateau but holding on well. Lots of interesting flavours here. Excellent QPR, especially for the €7 discount price.
I think this wine is best after at least 5 years of cellaring, it can sometimes be a little austere when tasted young.

The wine was decanted for ca. 1 hour before drinking. The tannins are still tight in this wine, and regarding its age, it could be more fruity. I had also expected more aromas and flavors of ripe fruits to come to the fore. With medium tenderloin beefsteak, however, the wine was quite nice and stylish. At the end the wine opened and revealed some qualities that had not been present at first.
I would recommend either to store this for some time or to decant it for a much longer time than I did.

Very good. Some mentioned forest floor and I agreed. Ad a little liquorice and dark berries, and then you have it.

Cherries, earthy, super dry, medium+ body, good concentration. Could be more structured and have longer finish. Very good for sangiovese fans.
