At first, this wine seemed slightly over the hill. Not sure if it was pairing with food, some aeration or the alcohol (in my head) that let this wine blossom in the glass. This wine sings after 30 minutes. Somewhat soft and round with lots of structure and backbone making a for a great balanced wine. — 6 years ago

Just hitting this after about a three hour decant, and I can already confirm that's not enough time. Way sexy brown-red color, like really awesome. Nose is almost Barolo-like, stewed red fruit with the raisin style nose. I'll get more into notes later once the bottom has proper air...this could be tomorrow!
Back to it after 48 hrs... Nose is a little closed, but about the same. Palate is more expressive today, dried cherry with mid-level tannins, but still does not appear ready. We'll get back to this in +24 hrs in hopes of betterment. — 7 years ago

Ok. This NEEDS air. The typical Sangiovese acid was string at first. The next day..... Wham.... The nose is like sweet, dusty cherries surrounded by shoe leather. Incredibly smooth in the palate, gleaming with strawberry notes. Felt more full bodied in the mouth after a day of air. — 8 years ago

For all those people saying this wine is too primary and too fruit-forward, have some patience! This wine loves some time in the bottle. The nose is pure Tuscany, floral with notes of black cherries and dried herbs. The palate is soft and supple, especially with 30 minutes in the decanter. Flavors of black plum and currant lead to secondary flavors notes of cocoa powder, dried herbs, soy, plush, velvety tannins and still very vibrant acidity. The finish shows a touch of earth and black fruit. A wonderful, different Toscana. — 6 years ago

Fantastic bottle of classic Brunello, brought back in 2013, from our visit there. One of the best I've had. Red fruits, hint of vanilla, full bodied and medium to long finish. Outstanding...... at Bacio with my bride, and some Copper River Salmon. A great finish to my B-day that began with a round at Spring Hill. — 7 years ago

Very good chianti Classico in a classic sense. Good fruit, soft tannins, and great old wold terroir that makes the finish a great example of how good Sangiovese can be at a very reasonable price point. — 10 years ago

2005 vintage on 27 and 28.10.2017
Not decanted so at first there was a very meaty and mushroom kind of nose. After an hour that dissapeared and leather, tobacco and some black fruit came in. In the mouth it was already very well balanced and you could taste the warmth and depth for minutes. 9
The second day these tertiaire perfumes are only far away what is there however is a great nose with leather, figues, cedar and black currant. Spicy in the mouth with enough acids and bitters. Fantastic wine! 9.4 — 7 years ago

Last of two purchased in Italy. Can't believe it has been 8 years since I opened the previous bottle. Still drinking well and tannins are not as drying as the last one. From the Tuscany/Umbria border near Lago di Trasimeno and cellared in an ancient Etruscan tomb. Up to four years in barrel and three in bottle before release. Current release vintage is 2008, which @AntonioGalloni recently gave a nice score (93+). Will definitely be on my list of places to try and visit on our next trip. — 7 years ago
