The alicante gives a unique aroma to the sangiovese, but not over powering. Nice balance & dryness on the palate though we did decante it for about 1 or 2 hrs. Probably would've been a little raw if not decanted. Nice with a heavy steak with spice. Pretty good value for the $19/bottle. I may be bias as it seemed a little port like on the nose, which bothered me a little though I enjoyed it since it wasn't over powering... though that's all I could think about... and a field of flowers.
