Went up a notch since 5 years ago. I think still improving. Strong CS influence here with lots of berries. Very different from bdx siblings. Sweet and chocolaty. Steak or pasta wine. Well done.

What a great Toscan wine, very elegant, long smooth while powerful end. Acidity absolutely enjoyable and great flavours as light oak, some blackberries, chocolate. Must buy!

Drank this one slowly over 3 days. Day 1: floral and wet rock nose, spice and mineral on the tongue, uptight tannins.
Day 2: floral, olives, and licorice on the nose, tannins rounding out, fruit and spice more neatly balanced.
Day 3: sizzling out on the nose and tongue (hardly a surprise here), mostly mineral and hints of residual jam remaining.
Enjoyed this overall, but does not compete with some of the proper Bordeaux I've had over the last few years.

Voll trinkreif. Ital. Bordeaux-Blend. Guter Trinkfluss trotz italienischer Fülle. Lecker! 90-91P

Beautiful wine, actually drinking really well, opened up nicely after 30 minutes.
