I enjoyed this however not as much as I had hoped. Not as mature as I was expecting it to be. Nice fruit on the nose however the palate was a little too woodsy. I would probably wait 2 or 3 years to open another if I had any left.

SuperTuscan Blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Medium garnet color, nose of cedar and cherry. Medium weight with fairly high acidity. Flavors of cherry, tobacco and cedar. Solid if not all that impressive. Best after decanting seemingly in the first 2 hours since the taste the next morning clearly deteriorated. I think a few years ago this needed more time to breathe.

Our last bottle. I still won't buy more of this, but at least this was the best bottle we've had, and it surprised us by drinking at least as well if not better on day 3. Reasonably balanced and pleasant with dinner.

Great with grilled lamb. Still drinking nicely. Decanted for 8 hours, probably could have used another 8.
