Awesome bottle of wine! Tannins are barely present and the wine gives wave after wave of lush black fruit. Decanted for one hour in bottle and 30 minutes in decanter. Threw off a decent amount of sediment, so pour slowly and allow to stand if stored on its sidel.

Decanted for an hour before serving. Very smooth tannins with a lot of plum, leather, and black fruit characteristics. Great super tuscan.

Dark violet color. Decanted for 2 hours. Great aroma of fruit and violet. Tannins mellow.
