Showing its age just a bit, but in a good way. The body has lightened up, but with more herbs and spices, baked cherries, and a long cranberry infused finish. Glad I saved one for now.

Translucent garnet. Baking spice and raspberry compote on the nose. Cherries, cranberries, green olives, very dusty tannins, mint, a bit of smoke, good acid, and a medium to long finish. This has evolved to a very nice place. It tastes like their Reserva bottling now. What a deal!

Second bottle, with similar notes. Both (last December) times the wine was charmingly soft with strawberry flavors accented with a pleasantly crisp cranberry finish, tonight, and in December, a hint of petrol. This went very well with basil. In December it nicely complemented a pesto encrusted salmon filet, and tonight it delisciously cleansed the palate between bites of plain old pasto pesto

I drank a glass of this with a beautiful prawn dish with creamy curry sauce. The Sangiovese really went well with the curry.
