  Revisiting after almost 18 months. The wine is great with pasta and tomato sauce, dry and sharp cheeses, etc. On its own, it is very dry, tart and acidic. Complexity is nice with old leather, floral varietals, and savory notes. But they're overpowered, along with most of the cherry fruit, by the abundant tartness. The tannins are still resolving and the overall profile should improve with age. For now, I consider this a food only wine but would love to try in 15-20 years to see how it mellows.

  * Previously Coravin Tapped in April
  
  I love this wine, but for some reason, this one was thin with nice advancement, but a bit flat. It could be the coravin effect. Never had this happen before, but shit does happen. No rating, but its worth sampling another soon to see if I need to pound remaining bottles. Lucky me!

  As a red wine, this is a 91, and as a Chianti, probably a 93...Room to improve some with secondary notes. This is always so well balanced and so amazing for the price. A perfect mid week wine to drink while cooking without destroying your palate before a light meal. Drink

  Medium garnet wirh brown tones, medium transparent. Nose is earthy, funky boxwood, spicy cigar wrapper, sandalwood, pungent vanilla, cinnamon, savory herbs. Silky mouth feel, flavors stay baking chocolate, vanilla, tomato, blackberry, black cherry, baked yeast, dry pecorino with salinity. Long finish with some heat.
