Upped my score to 89 since the first bottle in August 2020. Thankfully, the acidity has calmed down to a good level, however this wine, at least right now, is drinking more like a Rosso di Montalcino than a BdM due to its bright acidity and sour cherry notes. It lacks that depth and complexity that a BdM should provide. At $22.99 it was priced like an RdM, so I can't expect much more. If it was sold as an RdM it would have gotten a higher score.

no/little tannins, excellent color. Medium bodied and has aged well. Super smooth, leathery/earthy with floral notes of cherry and raspberry. Drank it with lamb shank, paired really well.

Paired wonderfully with a cherry glazed pork tenderloin.
