Excellent QPR. Big, round style of Sangiovese. Lots of smoke.

Drank 11/23/27.

After a heavy thanksgiving lunch, this went well with a mushroom ravioli in tomato cream sauce.

As always one of the best values I have found, and sadly the last 2011's I have. Red cherry and leather on the nose. Sweet black cherries, leather, cocoa, and tar on the palate. As always, perfect balance. Medium finish.

3/21/9/5/3 + 50 = 91 pts.

Again... solid, round. Red fruit with spice. A bit of heat on the finish after 1 hour decant. A really great wine.

So Delectables have this wrong. I'll go 90 to 91 points. It took well over an hour in the decanter to let the heat out.
