Excellent On PnP seemed a bit shy, but just leaving open and pouring some sips over a couple of hours opened it up. Showing a perfect balance of a dark cherry, nearly sappy Sangiovese and earth with tertiary notes with some pipe tobacco and leather coming in. Nice pairing with a simple homemade shortrib and sausage red sauce paste dish. Really nice.
I had to look back at my receipts to confirm I really did only pay $17 USD six years ago. It would have represented very nice QPR at twice that price!

Empty bottle weight: 366g You read that right. 366g. Very low punt. See folks, you can put an excellent, ageworthy wine into featherweight bottle.

Rip roaring acid and tannins until it settles down after a couple of hours.
Plummy, perky fruit with a balanced, long finish. Enough spicy layers to add interest and depth.
Rather good.
