Upon opening was very good, thought maybe 90+. Secondary flavors seemed to start to come through, tobacco and dark fruits. Very integrated smooth drinking. After couple of hours of being open though, seemed to start falling apart. Still good, but not apporaching extremely good. Last bottle. Was interesting to see the evolution of this wine

Very nice Tuscan style wine. Decanted about hour and definitely ready to drink. Went great with traditional southern Italian type dinner with sausages and tomato sauced dishes.

Delicious, thoroughly enjoyable wine. Excellent balance of fruit and tannin. Very much a "food wine" -- especially with tomato-based dishes.
