My first super Tuscan. Medium red color. Medium alcohol acidity and tannins Strong Notes of currant, cherry cola & tobacco. Low alcohol and acid. Also taste something "green" like green peppers. Could be grape seeds / stem. Really opens up after an hour. Greenness goes away and becomes very smooth.

45th TWIGS Dinner - "Italian" (Rancho Naidoo - Coffs Harbour): Served blind. Cork. 14.5% alc. Smells a little confected, with sweet black fruits and raspberries. The medium bodied palate is meaty, and shows dark chocolate and tobacco. Maybe a touch of heat from alcohol. The tannins are well on the way to being integrated. There's collaring potential here. Made up of Cab Sauv, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Shiraz.

Really nice Super Tuscan. Not much on the nose, but rich and flavorful. Deep dark fruits. Good value.

Still too early to drink. Too young and high level of acidity. Wait till 2017
