a bit harsh and dry but very nice long aftertaste of dark berry and rhubarb. Great nose. I liked it a lot better after several hours of airing. I think it will be fantastic in 2-3 years from now.

Nice food-wine, drunk with cold dishes. Ripe fruit, a hint marmelade, smooth tannins, pleasent acidity, already on the peak now, will not get better. Not a great, but an enjoyable Super-Tuscan-Blend with good QPV.

Dark ruby. Dark cherry and berry fruit, damson plum, cinnamon, vanilla and milk chocolate on the nose. Med+ bodied with firm but juicy tannins, rich fruit, balancing acidity and a long aftertaste. A very enjoyable, hedonistic entry-level red from this great winery.

Beaucoup de matière pour un vin de ce prix. Cerises noires, tanins enrobés et longueur respectable. Bien balancé par une acidité vivifiante. Je suis curieux de voir son évolution. UN EXCELLENT RQP.

Previous note applies more or less, but I enjoyed it even more this time. Seemed rounder and less vibrant, more food-friendly with more obvious sangiovese character. Hedonistic.

Dark purple. Big, bold and ultra-clean with crashed dark cherries and berries on the nose, amazingly pure and fresh. Mid-full bodied with silky tanins, BIG fruit and balancing acidity. Medium finish. Really impressive. As good as a red wine of its kind can get. Reminded me of the Bibi Graetz Casamatta, but this is bigger, bolder and has a longer aftertaste. It costs twice as much though...

Nice fruity wine with good acidity, everyday drinker. Good QPR! Drink within next 2 years.

Impressive and surprising wine for price. The finish just hits you, full of fruitiness and well balanced!
