  Didn't take any notes - although I really enjoyed this wine and it drinks more like a Brunello than a Chianti. Sweet/sour cherry and tobacco. Very tasty. 93+
  
  Has improved from my last tasing in 7/23.

  Great stuff - this has become my go-to red with pasta when I just want a really good/non-spendy bottle that's easy to drink. (The Selvapiana olive oil from RWC is also really good.)

  Dark cherries, leather, a touch of chocolate cake. Noticeable alcohol and a little bit clumsy. This was better at release, where it felt more balanced in its young phase. It may become balanced again with more age, but I am not sure.

  Alas, my last bottle. Excellent wine and value. Same notes as the last one.
  Beautiful nose, very aromatic. Blackberries, cinnamon, cocoa powder, nice structure and well integrated tannins.
