Drank 7/2/29. Great with a t-bone.
Sangiovese and Cab. Magnum. Nose of plums, pencil lead, and cherries, with earthy notes that suggest it's Tuscan heritage. Red and black fruits, with tannins that are still present, but open up after a 30 minute decant. Nicely balanced, with sour cherry, earth, and leather, backed by dusty tannins on the finish. This will hold for a few more years, but at 13 years, is unlikely to improve.
3/21/8/5/4 +50 =91 pts.

Christmas 2015, a delightful Magnum bottle of 2006 IBalzini. Dark rich berry flavor with fruity currant overtones.
