Much better then expected, set up on end several days ahead of drinking to let sediment settle,opened an hour before drinking, dark fruits, cherry, black berry, good balance of fruit, tannins and oak, i have been avoiding my Leonetti wines they have been a little heavy on oak for my palate these two bottles proved me wrong.

cherry,touch of leather, tobacco and incense on nose. sour cherry,blackberry and hint of spice box on palate, grippy tannins on finish this wine was better than i had expected, it could use little more time in the cellar.
