Nice balance on tannin. Drank when opened and 2 days later. Still held up. There is a bit of what I call bitterness from old vine. Others may call it something else.
Not too fruity but not a lot of complexity either. Pleasant. Would be an ok everyday wine but nothing special.
The wine looks violet colored. The legs are fast. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry and raspberry. The body is light/medium. The wine has round texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.

Nicely balanced and not too much tannin. Good value for the $10 and one of the merlots I like.
Served at a charity fund raiser and I'd buy some separately.

Nice sangiovese blend but marginal value at $16. General problem with super tuscans being overpriced based on reputation.
Finish is lasting and pleasant. Body is solid without too much fruit. Good tannin and complexity.
