semi tantalizing finish reminiscence of good sangiovese, and season texture on palate, grapes from well matured vines. Seems to perform better with more vintage time (going on 6-7 years storage cellar) however intensity of mid palate is lost and wine is totally smooth. Perfect gift or relaxing evening wine drink right now, I stored cork down and let sit 6hs before opening. The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are medium. There is moderate sediment in the bottle. It smells like prune, fig, mushroom and clove. It tastes like black currant (cassis), blackberry, medium toast, cedar and nutmeg. The body is light/medium. The wine has satin-like texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.

Muted nose of dark fruit & tar. Really tight. Opened a bit after 3-4 hours but still faint nose. Tart dark fruit and graphite on initial taste with just a touch of leather. Nice drying tannins on the abbreviated finish.

dark fruit faint on nose a palate early with a sour cherry finish. After two hours fruit opens up to the palate and a long soft finish evolves.
