Only just having my first of two of these. It's drinking well, certainly integrated and a bit plush and modern, but with a little sangio tartness that's keeping things in check and interesting. Fairly opaque with garnet to ruby at the very edges. Smells like dark fruits, mushrooms, chalk, and graphite. Medium body, acid, and finish, with flavors of dark fruits, lemon, orange, minerals, and spice. It's a nicely balanced SuperTuscan. Drink 'em if you got 'em!

Denser than last bottle. Full body with dark fruits dominated by black cherries followed with currants, licorice and toast. Mild acidity and soft tannin on a lengthy finish. Starting to past peak so drink up.

Still decent, but no longer in its peak drinking window.

Fading slightly with dark fruit, a pinch of 5-spice, dried earth, soft tannins and pleasant finish.

Not a powerhouse but has a bright cherry fruit. Spicy kick of sangio and merlot to round it out. Aged very well
