  Absolute undrinkable swill! Furthest I've ever been off my fellow CT drinkers' notes and scores. Opened, sipped, disgusting! Decanted for a bit, disgusting! Tried next day, just awful! Poured literally 9/10 of it down sink. Completely dominated by that classic "cheap red" flavor (meaning, $5 grocery store cheap red). Problem is, it was almost $17, not all that cheap! One of the worst wines I've ever had. And no, no heat damage, not oxidized, didn't pick up hints of either. Just downright cheap disgusting wine.

  how times & my tastes change - the first review compared to another Sangiovese
  
  This time I drank a wonderful Delas Northern Rhone before ( http://www.cellartracker.com/wine.asp?iWine=636163 ) and the Sasyr compared quite well ( and $10 less ). Wine doesn't often make it to day four - but this one did - and continue to drink well.
  
  Had at 89 -- bumped to 90

  Very good wine with amazing shelf life after opening. Got better after first day and did not drop off at all as I finished it 3 or 4 days later. Dark color, medium body. Fruity nose and open, but not too sweet or over the top like cheap Australian shiraz. Savory on the mid palate and a long, slightly dry finish.

  Good value every day wine; can go a few days open without turning funky.

  Light Aromas a bit of Citrus, not to fragrant, lots of Nice Berry Flavour, Smooth Tannins, and some tartness, and a nice finish, nice wine but loses a few points from lack of nose.
