Ouverte et dégustée de suite - Le vin a nettement évolué depuis 2 ans et en bien ! Sa robe est d’un grenat avec signe d’évolution en périphérie du disque. Le nez évoque le cuir, la cerise, l’eucalyptus, quelques notes boisées toujours… En bouche, le vin est souple et rond, les tanins sont polis (le Merlot et ses 50% y est certainement pour beaucoup), avec un jus de belle fraîcheur… très agréable. La bouteille est belle et le serait encore plus à mon goût si la persistance aromatique était plus prononcée. 92+ en l’état ce soir.

Ma première sur caisse de 6, bue sur 2 semaines avec lente aération avec repos frigo et vide d'air avec système Aircork - Fermé et austère le vin s'est bonifié au fil des jours. À besoin de quelques années de cave encore pour montrer son plein potentiel. D'un assemblage similaire à Bordeaux, il se révèlera peut-être pour ses 15 ou 20 ans… à suivre. De 87 à 89

Eye: Crimson color to a pinkish rim, transparent Nose: blackberry, mocha and cedar Palate: ripe cherries and oak firm tannins med acidity, medium finish, and some heat. Def all of the 14.5% as listed on the bottle.
Overall a nice full bodied Tuscan. Not sure if will have much more to offer overtime but will see.

Good fruit, upfront dark fruit and sour plum, some soy sauce. Juicy fruit in the palate, with strong acidity and tightly wound, but fine, tannins. Medium finish. Open for business now but will be better with age.

Mid-full body and well structured. Overwhelmed by blueberries, blackfruits, cheddar and mushroom. Sweet finish with medium length. Simple but beautiful.
- Garnet color. It's balanced and has flavours of chocolate, cloves and hazelnut with a full body. Juicy texture with a long finish - Young Tuscan. Should age well. Lots of complexity.
Right out of the bottle, it seemed to have a soft buttery, slightly smoky fragrance. Not as overbearing on the fruity side like a lot of Italian reds I've had. I like this a lot and at the price will buy a few more bottles for the cellar. Wow!

First Thanksgiving at LBH: Deep, dark, structured with good blue/black fruit and some age. Full-bodied. Showing well.

Not as good as last time. A bit more close on both nose and palate than half year ago. Tannic finish.

- Brick color. It's balanced and has flavours of coffee, mushroom and molasses with a medium/full body. Polished texture with a long finish.
