This has evolved beautifully since I last drank it. Ruby with a garnet edge. Nose of black olive, spice, smoke, coal dust, black cherry and a palate that delivers everything the nose suggested. Lovely balance, melded tannins, good acidity, medium body. I like this wine a lot.

Clear, medium ruby color with an brown hue. Presence of slow tears. Clean nose with medium- intensity nose: meaty/savory, sour cherry, black tea, balsamic. Dry with moderate acidity, medium+, grippy tannin and moderate alcohol. A medium body with moderate intensity flavors, shorter finish. Flavors match the nose.

Earth and mushroom plus red cherry and a bit of burnt rubber. Lovely sour red and black cherry fruit, drying tannins on the mid palate and a savoury tapenade finish.

Bought at the winery, in Montepulciano. The tasting room (and the cellars) seemed overly touristy and commercial, so expectations were not high. The wine, however, tasted better than I thought it would. No detailed notes though.
