I liked this wine a lto less than most of there other note writers commenting on this wine. I found it to be a nice but not-at-all interesting wine that tasted l9ke a bdx blend that could be from anywhere. Soft cab-like fruit and good balance, but not really much else.

Saturday Tasting Group (Knightsbridge Wine Shop (Northbrook, IL)): Definitely tasted like a $50 bottle as opposed to the $25 average price on cellartracker. Deep purple aromas. Waxy purple crayola crayon. Intense and super mouth drying tannins. Highly glycerin driven. Lush and weighty. Needs some serious cellar time to calm down. Still a solid Super Tuscan.

This was a below average wine. The nose had brett and shower curtain aromas that overpowered whatever fruit was there. The palate had a lot of animal/earth flavors with mostly currant/plum fruit flavors. Maybe some people like this, but not me.

Wonderful wine. Layers of red and black fruits covered in earth. Excellent representation of a Super Tuscan.

Great Tuscan blend from a reputable estate. Very surprised by this and would buy again and again. Delicious all around.
