Just opened my last bottle and I think this is drinking very nicely now. I thought this wine was past it’s prime last time I drank it but I think this bottle is actually better than the one I drank in March…probably not due to the extra time but just variation in the bottle for whatever reason. Still has very nice cherry notes and good acid with smooth tannins. Pleasant finish. It was a good QPR at $14.99. Sangiovese is a wonderful grape! (Note: this wine is 90% Sangiovese & 5% each of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon)

Had a glass poured with Coravin, nice purity of fruit with that vibrant acidity, gentle tannins and very drinkable, a bit weighty for the vintage, as I have tasted a lot of thin NdM 2014, possibly because of Merlot 5% - Cabernet 5%. French oak - 5hl for 18 months. Really nice.

Still nice on opening but the fruit disappeared as the bottle sat and the finish went downhill. A bit past it’s prime, I think.
