Not even close to being at peak
Funny enough I would say that for a full enjoyment of this wine we could have opened it in 10 years at least
That said on day 1 it was giving absolutely nothing, you could feel the American oak far too much, but on day 2 we have a great wine, smooth, beautiful fruits, lots of shades, but still far from its potential
It will be very hard to taste another bottle

Great aroma great body and balance. Black berries, wood leather hints of plum, nice tannins and an earthy aftertaste with hints of dark chocolate and tobacco. Thank you #stratos83 β 8 years ago

Excellent wine paired with meat or pasta, also stands alone well. β 9 years ago
Last tasted this vintage two years ago. Good then, better now. Deeper bouquet and longer finish. β 9 years ago
If you are looking for a lively, young Sangiovese, then this is it! Fresh, fruity and complex, it can definitely be one of your next favorite reds. β 11 years ago
Has a great semi (but not too) sweet flavor β 11 years ago

My fav Va wine β 13 years ago
Very dark. Makes me wonder if there is a little Petit Verdot blended in. Nose: lovely over-ripe dark cherry. Some tobacco and leather . Palate: the same. Still light and fruity. Very easy drinking Merlot out of Virginia. β 7 years ago
It held beautifully
I personally thought was 15 years younger
Lots of scents
From a dark fruit like blueberry and plum to spices like cloves and cinnamon; leather and cigars box too.
Looking for weaknesses Iβd say it doesnβt have a long finish, not extremely intense on the nose( is that really a fault?) and maybe it is a bit too much on the oaky side, but altogether very enjoyable wine. Colour was misleading, still ruby and garnet, just a slight glimpse of orange on the edge. Thanks @Mauro Gabriele β 8 years ago
