Deep ruby. Intense aromas of dark cherry, cassis, pepper, tobacco. Full bodied, medium acidity, full of dark fruits with tannic finish. In great shape now.

sweet plum. ripe forward fruit. candied blueberry. to me - there was a hint of alc that bothered me on the palate. ripe mid with acidity to carry it - a touch of a sharp note but leading to a long finish of herb and fruit. interesting wine.

Complex the nose and powerful the palate, revailling strong tannins, growing along time. Full bodied and well balanced with oak, tobacco, liquorice and dark ripe berry fruit and earth notes. Balanced acidity that cut through the roasted lamb. Very long length and extremely pleasant and tasty finish. Big and bold. Best expression of a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon amd Merlot. still a couple of years ahead

Dark ruby color. I could not get much on the nose, but the palate made up for it! Full bodied and well balanced with dark ripe berry fruit and secondary mushroom and earth notes. Good integrated acidity that cut through the roasted lamb. Very long length and extremely pleasant and tasty finish. Loved it.

This really hit the spot for me. As the composition would suggest, it's like a combination of a great Brunello with a nice right bank Bordeaux. It has all the dark fruit and acidity, but with many other complex flavors including a floral component.

Really tasty. Although restrained on the nose, it was big and bold with a nice long finish. Excellent but still young. Lot to look forward to as it ages.

Still full bodied, but missing its structure a bit.

Nose of baking and savory spices. Tastes older than it is but still quite tannic. A little disjointed.

Licata 2005 "Giro d'Italia" (Diepenbeek, Belgium): 50% sangiovese & 50% merlot
C'est évidemment très bon, très puissant ...et pas très marqué par le merlot
Grosse concentration mais assez fermé
