This is the second bottle i have had and both were very consistent and full flavored.

Would not buy again, at any price. (2196 views) | | | Tasted by mikec42 on 1/6/2012 & rated 88 points: Very good. see kostakats description...I agree. (2144 views) | | | Tasted by KostaKats on 3/7/2011 & rated 88 points: Clear dark garnet. Clean typical Chianti nose of cherries, sour cherries, tea as well as some other non descript herbs. Palate mirrors the nose with a herbal edge that is great with food. Medium - body, medium fine grained tannins, medium + acidity, good length. Balanced and smooth. Very good. (1075 views) | | | Tasted by Louisiana George on 11/22/2010 & rated 88 points: surprisingly medium to heavy mouthfeel, lots of darker fruit, herbal hints on midpalate with air, and licorice/pepper finish - not your typical chianti, but very enjoyable for everyday wine and great price (934 views) | | | Tasted by Yiannis on 2/11/2010 & rated 88 points: Garnet. Red cherries, vanilla and some tomato. Mid-bodied and balanced with intense, fine-grained tanins, good fruit, high acidity and a long aftertaste. A solid cc. (1111 views) | | | Tasted by beezer6 on 10/19/2008 & rated 88 points: Old World. Dark rustic blackberries. Dried dark fruit. Dark gravel after a storm.
Charcoal. Medium bodied. Moderate tannins, moderate acidity.
Fine wine. Nothing too special. Not a whole lot of fruit. But enjoyable. Mild mannered.
Cinnamon on the palate. The finish is somewhat short, but nothing about this wine is too flamboyant. Again, Old World in style. (1366 views) | | | Tasted by Stickan on 4/9/2008 & rated 88 points: Light red, medium nose and aftertaste, some fruits, nice drinking wine. Ok. (1473 views) |
