Classic fully mature sangiovese with generous soft red fruit leather and sandalwood incense. Not especially deep or concentrated, but just so good. In perfect nick, and no rush - this has at least another five years.

Delicious and in the pocket. Touch of burnt hair reduction, and acid still a little firm here - but no worry. Drink now and over the next five years. Clearer aromatics and overall just a bit better on day 2 - but I think we are firmly into bottle-by-bottle territory at this point.

Also NFO = New French Oak.

Very sweet with blurriness from unintegrated dosage. This did not evolve so positively like the last bottle, even over several days. Strong hold.
