Classic Sangiovese nose of wet earth, mid season cherry, cherry flower, caramel, bittersweet cocoa, so complex and inviting, mineral as well. A perfume. Terrific aromas. Palate is terrifically juicy and sweet with ripe mid season cherries and a hit of opulence late in the mid palate fans out on the finish before tannins firm up but sweet all the way through. Great freshness and really long. Needs 1 hour.

Wow. Amazing !

Significant sediment - needs a careful decant. Best after an hour.

Nose: so pretty. Lilacs. With air really pretty. Sweet licorice.

Palate: dark blackberry. Perfect balance. Amazing Filligree for a wine this dense. So fresh. Savory. Utterly delicious. Cocoa. Sweet spice. Utter magic after an hour.

Stunning silkiness.
