Vinturied into decant and consumed over several hours, My last btl here since 2018, this one was more compelling and much better. The blend is a strange one, the Sangiovese still holding this back from stardom, IMO. Nonetheless this was very enjoyable once it opened. Drink now with decant thru 2024-7 latest

Seems to have reached the tipping point. Initially it was moderately vibrant with some cherry fruit notes, but it faded quickly. Comp;ete change after

Promising beginning with aromas of cherry cola with flavors to match. It broke apart later in the evening and the acid became overpowering.
