Pop and pour. Sangiovese 37%, Merlot 32%, Cabernet Sauvignon 31%. Deep ruby in the glass with a thin pink transition and a watery rim. Nose hits hard with cedar, dark fruits, deep plumb, and sassafras. Full-bodied, medium minus acidity, palate of licorice, dark fruit, and...cork? Heavy coating tannins. Medium length finish.
Admittedly, I am not a fan of super Tuscans. I find Cab Sauv easily dominates anything it is blended with. This wine is what I expected - heavy, tannic, brooding, and monolithic. Not much change on the second evening. I'm sure many people will enjoy it more than I do. To me, it tastes like it could be from anywhere. It overwhelmed my charcuterie board. Not recommended now through 2027.

Deep ruby color. Pronounced aromas of black fruit (cherry, blackberry), iron and licorice. Medium acidity and tannins; high alcohol. Full bodied. Pronounced flavors of those black fruits and licorice, charred wood and dried fruit. Long finish.

Coravin by the glass. Nose of blackberry, currant, cedar, chocolate and bak8ng spice. Ripe black fruit, cedar, chocolate, spice and drying tannins on the palate. Finishes with good length. Medium to full bodied. Served with asparagus, pancetta pasta.

Expected so much more. Got a little smoother after opening for hours but still not a pleasant taster for me. Disappointing.
