In a good spot now. Tannins have softened enough to actually taste the juice. Agree that this is is a lighter, more “elegant” sagrantino, and is all the better for it I think. Wonderful floral nose, classic flavor profile and a lingering finish. I really enjoyed this. Better than the ‘04 vintage of this wine, which I had a few days ago.

Tasted this at our weekly group blind tasting. Nice to have a preview before venturing to open our bottle. This was incredibly tight, with puckering tannins. I have had a few Sagrantinos, this was quite elegant compared to the others I have had, but we will wait. Years.

Montefalco Visit '15; 9/15/2015-9/20/2015 (Montefalco, IT): Similar to the '06, but a little lighter, more elegant, more floral, especially on the nose. Not as typical as the '06, but interesting and delicious.
