  Clean cork, not decanted. Deep garnet color with a fading rim in the glass. Delicate, mature aromas of dried red cherries, forest floor, sandlewood and leather. The palate brings tart red cherry, black cherry, fig and bay leaf. Acidity is medium-high and tannins are medium and fully integrated. Still shows good balance with a medium-long finish. Fully mature and a little rustic in character, but drinking at (or slightly past) peak. Recommend finishing any bottles in the near future.

  It's been a couple years since I have tasted this wine. It is maturing very well. Big berry flavors pop, with a very nice finish. Glad I have a couple left.

  It has been over a year since I last tasted the 12 UVE. It has blossomed with a great cherry flavor and a very smooth finish. I am glad I have 3 bottles left.

  A very nice wine. Still seems quite young with a tight nose and taste. Decanted for two hours but did not develop until another two hours after decanting. Once fully opened the nose had fantastic notes of leather, dill, vanilla, cedar and black cherries. The initial flavor followed the nose but the mid-palate was the one flaw this wine had. It was not completely hollow but it was lacking. The finish was fantastic with everything the nose had plus a great spice. The wine was not hot and it had a medium mouthfeel. A nice little wine!

  Well, this sample was not so exciting. I was expecting a good modern tuscany one but thw cork was hard to take it out, a little bit dry. When i take out, the aromas was a little bit oxidative, but on the mouth you can fell that is good one. I hope that another bottle that i have will be better.
