When it’s on…it’s on. Maybe my 6th bottle of 2011? The last one felt pruney and tired so this was a welcome respite. No tannins…perfectly integrated black cherry sagrantino. I would drink 2011s rather than hold them. They are one Italy’s top red wines.

A bit prune-ier than the last few I've had. Took more time to coax out of bottle. Still delicious nonetheless. More primary and less secondary than I recall. Could be provenance...could be early peaking?

Similar to previous bottles. Very earthen, minerally, toasted herbs, ash, with hard cherry fruit. Tannins are present but not over bearing. In a great window. Very nice quality

Poured from double mag. Drinking well right now. Herby, smokey and earthy. Fresh dark fruits are well supported by the acid and tannic structure.
Given the spread of Italian food on the table, this wine was at the right place at the right time. Will definitely seek this out again.
