Nicely floral on the nose with hints of black cherries and blackberries. Palate brings additional flavors of black tea and cedar notes, along with plenty of dark fruit. Mid palate is a little hollow, but the finish is relatively long, with dry tannins that clamp down pretty good. This could still improve with a few more years of age. Also, this definitely needs time to open up. Best after breathing for at least three hours.

modern style unlike any (predominantly) typical sangiovese; sweet dense grapey and cherry fruit with menthol overtones; this softens a bit by day two; might be better with more time;

After reading about it in Livets Goda I hade high expectations. But this wine never came through and gave what a wine costing a 10'r would give. Nothing special...at all.

Nose of red fruits with noticable woodsy scents. The red fruits were the dominant flavor profile but there were hints of lilac. The wine was very smooth, but unfortunately the short finish and non-existent mid-palate detracted form the wine. 50+4+13+17+6

Solid wine, although this actually might be too young. Strong tannins!
