  This Italian grown Cab Franc has intense aromatic blackberry fruit with notes of tobacco, licorice, mocha and dark chocolate. Super smooth tannins after a 60 minute decant (a must) and then some hints of mint on the finish. This is an interesting and complex wine to fully savor.

  This opened with a dense crimson colour and a rich nose of garnet plums, red cherries, tobacco and blackberry leaf. The palate is luxuriously rich with a robe of fruit giving way to savoury black olives and tobacco that lingers nicely. There is perhaps a sense of needing a little more drive but at the end of it the sense is of pleasure and light. Good stuff.

  My first bottle tasted of 6 bought. Beginning to reach its maturity plateau but not there yet. Dark cherry and smoky notes, palate smoother than I expected, very long. One drinker in our group said that it tasted velvety but others would wait 2 to 5 years.
  A great food wine though showing how this bit of Tuscany is great for Bordeaux or red Loire-grapes. Plenty of ripeness evident.

  Medium deep ruby. Robust nose of black fruits with green notes. Dry, bright acidity, structured tannins, palate follows through. Medium body. Good balance. Medium finish.

  A little green cab franc vibes. A sweetness to it that at first I find a bit overwhelming but after a while finds very charming. If this was a candy I would buy loads. 92-93
