Sweet and concentrated black cherry, goji berry and cranberry fruit. The mid-palate is a dusty playground, with some sweet herbal notes and dark chocolate in providing some balance and counterpoint. The tannins are firm and ripe and there is a generous helping of slightly unintegrated oak. The wine has a very long finish and is well balanced. It is not a bad wine by any means, but just too sweet for me. It really demands to be drunk with some rich umami food.

This wine was one of the best values I've had in quite some time. It lacked some of the complexity of other Tuscan wine, but for the price, that's nitpicking. Paired well with a hearty meat sauce, and decanted. The nose upon pouring was fruit forward and heady, but it calmed down after opening up, and the mouthfeel got much smoother over time.

This is a really great blend - Merlot and Sangiovese - showing very deep red almost purple. Smells delicious, a bit spicy. Very smooth with hints of the warm spices, maybe some vanilla and red fruit. We had it with pasta puttanesca, perfect!

Ok for the price. Better on day 1 & 2 (out of 5).
