Given the previous notes, I was expecting to be disappointed. Upon opening, the nose had sour notes and dissipated in 15 minutes, or so. The sourness showed up on the palate as well. But with some time in the glass, the wine really integrated and because a fine example of well-aged Tuscan gem. It was even better the following evening having been gassed overnight.

earthy and alcoholic nose. Deep ruby red color. Intensely tannic, with bright red fruit fighting through. Lacking some balance and depth, but overall pretty good.

Nice, aged Tuscan red. Much better than prior bottles. Earthy red fruit, with spice and pepper.
