Not as lifted and energetic as I expected. Medium weight . Touch of new oak still evident. Sweetness from the wood. Mint. Spice. Red fruits. Bright acid. Fine grained tannins settle in the gums and are a little dry. No more than adequate length. Not compelling, but it is balanced and if you are not offended by the new wood it likely has some appeal.

Comprehensive Tenuta delle Terre Nere (Chicago, IL): One of the standouts in the flight; plenty of tannin still (almost nebbiolo like in that powdery way), with a very nice red-fruited quality to the nose and palate. Relatively light with a mild hit of volcanic sulphur.

Amazing wine. Great fruit on day one. More teritary flavours day two. This is in a great place right now if you want an integrated wine with top fruit. Save if you want more secondary aromas. Will live on for many years.

This wine is still a little tightly wound. You will want to decant it.
