  Nice ripe delicious wine. Begins to open up after 5 minutes in the glass. Typical medicine cabinet sangiovese nose. Soft and round with good length. Great drinking pleasure now.

  Medium/deep garnet core, medium pale garnet rim. Moderately intense nose with red cherry, spice and floral notes. No more than medium bodied on the palate with pure, slightly sour red cherry and strawberry fruit, some black cherry, fine, integrated tannins, and fresh acids on a medium length finish. This is pretty and very drinkable, if a touch angular and not particularly deep, complex or long. It may have had more oomph a couple of years ago. Drink now.

  Brick red in colour, aroma of violets, mature, and at its peak, drank very well with steak, burgundian elegance, long finish, a superb mature wine
