  Dark ruby color. Deep aromas of dried cherries, prunes, orange zest, tobacco and leather. The bold palate features dried dark cherries, ripe plum, black currant, coffee, mint, baking spices and vanilla. Long and velvety finish. Very concentrated and bold, yet the tannins and texture are quite soft. Fresh acidity and wonderful balance. Full bodied and lush.

  12/8/2023 - Rezy13 Does not like this wine:

  $50+ Italian Blind Tasting (Bin 75 Alpharetta, GA): Darker core with thinner orange rim; overripe nose, raisin, volatility, dark fruit, cocoa, mineral, tar, terra cotta, some volcanic influence, bone and ash, not showing much fruit today; oak and ripe dark fruit dominates the palate, Sangiovese; not my style but not performing well today.

  Red cherry, plum, licorice, tobacco, tomato leaf, dried leaves, white pepper. Mouth-coating tannins, nice acidity. Very well balanced, IMO, but it is totally closed up still (started opened up a bit on night two). Give it time.
