Not normally a fan of Super Tuscan blends with their " French" intrusion....however: On nose: mesquite charcoal, dried roses, some hay and blanched almonds. On palate: above flavour notes present, with cherry pit, blueberry, plum skin, fresh tobacco , all displayed on a lean, freshly acidic body, with enough flesh from the Merlot to balance this wine, the Cabernet and Sangiovese harmonize well, in this most suitable food wine....proof with this lower priced wine, that Antinori is a fine producer.....ably played well with Prosciutto and arugula pizza tonight.

So a year and a half later I am revisiting this wine. It still is more the blending varieties than Sangiovese and the tannins stilll are unresolved. Not that pleasant but works in a pinch.

Smooth from the first glass. Good body and an enjoyable finish. Wonderful blend for this price point. Too bad I have no more.
