Decanted 30 minutes into Magnum decanter. Left two glasses in the decanter overnight.
Ruby, Strawberry Cherry on nose Cherry plum Thyme Freshly ground black pepper. (Maybe a touch of cayenne! 🤣.. she's a spicy one!) Old Leather Earth mushroom light tobacco
Body medium full Balanced nice Alcohol high Acid high Tannins high, but seems to be resolving - definitely too early. Better in 5yrs Viscosity medium enveloping mouthfeel Finish- long 60s+
Addendum - 24 hours later, lost some freshness, unsurprisingly I think. But, it gained tannic structure, I me indicating significant longevity. Other character remained. Seems to be a winner.
Buy more, but don't open it until 2030!
Sangiovese 100% 14% abv
Wheat Penne with Rose` Sauce, Roma tomatoes and plastered with shredded Parmigiano Reggiano.
2nd night... freaking awesome Marguerita pizza.
PS- Drink The Rainbow!

Medium dull ruby w faint amber in bright light against white background - so beautiful color - check - aromas are bit difficult to coax upon seasoning of glass - certainly no off aromas - palate a bit shy too w thinnish earthy iron and graphite flavors accompanied by distant tart plum. Other 15’s have shown better.

Très bon vin. Ouvert puis goûté. Très bien.
Après 15-20 minutes il.est devenu moins bon, plus tannique. On l'a laissé respirer. C'était le but.
1h30 plus tard avec les noisettes d'agneau et une excellent risotto ce fut un accord partsit avec le.vin pleinement ouvert. Mariage parfait

Vin qui commence à ouvrir, mais à peine.
Mûres , cèdre, et une touche cendrée.
Attendre au moins 3 ans de plus!
