Thou shalt not doubt Sangiovese. Baked cherries, dried cranberries and bushels of herbs. Basil, thyme, and oregano. A soft touch of balsamic, and a salami pepper. Fantastic!

Singin! I had it on day two when it was nicely unwound. It could have gone another day and still been on point.

2010:
nose of black cherry, braised fennel to torn arugula, violets & incense
a core of focused juicy fruit is followed by a cascade of iron rich velvety tannins
was phenomenal w roasted truffle butter chicken and root vegetables

Has potential but closed and tannic at this stage. Lay it down another 3-5yrs.
