  No formal notes. Medium ruby and bricking. Ripe red berries and still quite fresh and juicy. Very attractive flavor profile and excellent persistence.

  I found this bottle lurking in the afternoon, so we had it with tomato bruschetta, chicken sausage and pesto pasta with a tossed salad. The wine was remarkably well-balanced and flavorful with a blend of primary fruit, secondary savory notes, and well-integrated fine tannin. The flavor from start to finish was fairly linear and consistent. Almost no sediment in the bottle. Although the brighter, sharper Rosso characteristics had softened, the wine was still quite good with food. 88-89.

  Medium garnet. Lovely perfume of soft florals, cherry, cranberry, and white pepper hints. Starts out with underripe cherry but the flavors fill out and get riper. Good balance between acid, alcohol and tannins.

  Let it breathe for a couple of hours and be rewarded with rich aromas of damson plums and jasmine. Full bodied and full throttled with ripe raspberry, sweet plum and a hint of cocoa underpinned by silky tannins. Rich, luscious finish that lasts for at least a minute. When a Rosso is this good who needs a Brunello?

  Drinking with dinner of red beans and rice. Nice balance of red fruit, dirt and a bit of mature tannin. Body a bit on the lighter side. Some pepper or alcohol banging against the mildly spiced red beans. Quite good.
