Oak stuck out on the pop 'n pour, but after an hour or so it integrated nicely. Good balance and silky mouthfeel were the highlights here, as well as a nice earthy flavor profile.

Recent auction purchase - bottle 1 of 4. Blinded my brother on this who quickly went to Italy and settled on Tuscan Sangiovese, which says a lot about the typicality of this wine. Good depth, nicely integrated, lovely flavor profile - high tannin needs to soften a bit, though it did settle down as it got air. Excellent quality CC - everyone enjoyed this.

Definitely dominated by red cherry with some hints of blueberry. There’s a funky earthy leathery thing going on, which keeps it interesting. Acidity is medium-plus. Tannins are moderate and quite sandy.

Varietally correct and better after some air and on day 2 but lacking complexity and aromatics. A bit on the darker fuller body side.

Picked up on Last Bottle for $29. High acid, cherries, and not much else.
