Dark fruit (cherry, blueberry), spice, slight earth, slight tobacco. Good acidity. Lingering finish. Really enjoyable. Decanted. Better with an hour or two of air. 91-2 Bottle #667. From San Valentino vineyard. 70% Sangiovese. 15% montepulciano. 15% sagrantino.

Unfortunately, both the 2 bottles we owned of this wine were both corked. Other wines in same shipment have been wonderful, so not sure what happened with these 2 Paolo Bea 03's. Vintage may be past its prime as it wasn't the best year in Italy.

Rustic with great earthy, mushroom notes. Light in color but great depth. This was a very nice bottle.
