  No real notes tonight, but a very nice and well made wine, with a great qpr.
  Fine everyday drinker.
  Very much like my note from 5 years ago, but more developed and with more secondary notes present.
  Cherries, earth, leather and herbs.
  Well worth the money.

  This was a really nice surprise, indeed.
  Bought a couple of bottles up on release, and tucked away a few to see what would happen.
  A brilliant move it seems, as this wine really showed great tonight.
  First few bottles drunk back when purchased was really easy going and straight forward, fruit driven and easy going.
  Very fine nose, with red berries, fine wood, cedar, loads of lovely green Italian herbs, spices, Tuscan earth, touch of licorice and cough medicine.
  Complex and deep.
  Palate was equally fine.
  Deep fruit, mature, fine and complex, with good grip, structure and long and silky finish.
  Cool and expressive.
  Excellent low priced Tuscan well-made wine, will last and continue to develop another at least 5 years, probably longer.
  Recommended!
  (90 – 92+)

  30 min decant. Definitely one of my wife's favorite wines for the buck....she is more of a 92 and I'm a 90. I'd say definitely has entered its prime!

  Probably at peak now. Fine although cork was almost completely soaked (and this bottle required only a short decant, probably as a result). Works well with Spaghetti Bolognese.
