There is no way a wine can be expected to yield the types of flavors one expects off it before 5-6 years of bottle age. The phenolic structure is alive and the characteristics of such a wine expose themselves like all typical syrah wines with time. This is such a wine. Very graceful, lovely mouthfeel, beautiful flavors. The 2011 is also amazing and the Papeo vermentino from the same house is absolutely outstanding. This property is a hop, skip and a jump from Guado al Tasso, and is perhaps recognized as some of the best terroir in the world.

The wine looks Ruby colored, smells like Blackberry, Blueberry, Red Currant. Lot's of red fruit in this wine! It tastes like Blackberry, and Red Currant and finishes medium-short, but has a very silky smooth taste to it. Really well balanced; Lot's of fruit, but not too much acidity. Subtle!
Very approachable, light bodied, fresh, fruity and smooth wine. Very enjoyable, and a good buy for under $10.
