At this point, this wine is well past its prime, or it wasn't kept well at the wine shop (quite likely). Brick colored throughout, porty on the nose, definitely showing signs of oxidation. Metallic and raisiny on the palate.

Gift to me from my brother-in-law during a family gathering. We snuck off to taste. This Sangiovese grape is sooooo smooth. It rolls off your tongue, plays off the back of your mouth and slides down your throat.
This was in oak for 18+ months. It is young and lively and (again) smoooooth.
