  Popped and poured into decanter. Fully mature. Initial taste revealed a fairly nice nose and palate, better than expected. Over the course of an hour some sips were nice but others bitter. Drink up.

  Popped and poured. Fully mature and ready to go. Still some fruit left. Drink up.

  Good, but very "smooth" and manufactured feeling.

  Opened the 2005 on 8/17/2019, it was absolutely delicious! Lush, velvety tannins, berries with a hint of leather. Wish I had more.

  Nice Cherry and herb notes on the nose. Well balanced wine and still showing good structure 12 years later. May have had a few more years left but went wonderfully with the Homemade Ravioli dinner with Bolognese sauce. Biggest thing was not as long of a finish as I had remembered but still a nice wine and even was "OK" finishing after dinner without food which isn't often the case with sangiovese based wines from Italy.
