Truncated dinner party notes. Rich fruit, together with secondary and tertiary leather and Library notes. So rich and deep on the palate. Still some dense tannin but it’s resolving. Nice acids .

Ever so slightly corked but nice nonetheless. Earth and plums.

Higher acid, tasted really cool! Looked beautiful as well.

Edit: this was actually a rosso di montalcino but I can't change it

Absolutely fantastic. Black cherry, mushroom, earth, baking spice, balsamic. High tannin, high acid. This wine slays.

Wonderful wine. Black cherry, baking spice, fairly high acid. Decanting helped mellow things out quite a bit.

Nice beautiful label. The wine is also amazing.
Decanted for 60 minutes. Very young still.
Stewed cherry aromas. Cherry, balsamic, earth, and truffles on the palate. Still fairly tannic finish but shows great promise in 2 or 3 yrs and will last a very long time.

Loads of tannin, a lot to alco up front. Maybe it should have been in the decanter?
