Actually was a 2015 death and resurrection Sangiovese! Our favorite of a vertical 2013/2014/2015 tasting. Nicely balanced. — 7 years ago

Awesome wine. It has a ‘white hawk’ feel to it. Not sure I’d guess it was Sangiovese. Super dark, ripe dark fruits, tapenade and a hint of cedar. Really cool! — 3 years ago
