This particular bottle tasted like it was poorly aged (like it spent too much time on the shelf in a wine store): it had hints of over oxidation at first. Two days in the bottle allowed those flavors to mostly blow off and the wine was soft and supple with smooth tobacco flavor and fine mild tannins.

This wine should be singing at this point and all I got was a HUM! Flavors were tired and weak to what they should be. Tobacco was the only on target flavor. The flavors seem to be those of an over-aged wine and I know this wine should be bright and exciting. They are not. It tasted good but that's just it. I have 4 more that I hope live up to the wine's potential and this is just a bottle issue

I'm glad I held this last bottle of 4. It certainly improved from 3 years ago. However, there is still a strange background taste that I cannot get my hands on...it detracts from the overall flavor. I would love a comment from someone who has had this wine.

Excellent with pizza. Decanted for 30 minutes before consuming first glass. Some acidity with slight tannin that were well integrated and smoothed out into a mellow finish with no bite. Glad i have 4 more bottles.

Solid example of a good Toscana. Notes of cherry, blueberry with. Long dry finish
