Quite dark ruby red with just a touch of age at the edge. Faint barn/earthy with some hints of stewed fruit. Medium to low aroma intensity. Medium finish though the tannins persist for quite a while. Not unbalanced but on the edge. Lots of acid and tannins are still very present. Good complexity and development. Fruit has evolved and secondary flavours are more prominent. Enjoyed with a chèvre and roasted tomato spread on baguette, good combo.

Leathery with cedar, flowers, lemon peal and raspberry and cherry. Dark chocolate and mocha coffee like finish with firm persistent chalky tannin. Great structure with ample fruit. Weighty and well made.

Grande impatto iniziale. Tannini maturi, "croccanti", dolci. Sangiovese di grande carattere con profumi e sapori tipici. Peccato che si sia spento il giorno dopo, impoverendosi nei profumi e al palato e acquistando una punta di acidità. Vino da aprire e finire il giorno stesso operazione che risulterà facilissima se si è già in 2 a berlo :-) . Il punteggio sarebbe stato più alto se avesse tenuto le 24 ore e fosse costato 10 euro meno.

Big wood tannins dominate. Ripe fruit with great balance and structure. Give this 3 to 5 to mellow out.

Young but drinkable. Rather dark cherry fruit and slightly creamy. Big structure with lots of tannins covered in lots of fruit
