Iris blossoms, cedar box, and smoked meat on the nose. Great concentration of dark fruit flavors. A nice flash of peppery heat mid palate. Nice bite of medium tannins. I'm really digging this wine!

Pepper, lemon curd and rhubarb at first whiff - very interesting nose to say the least! Later developed some pleasant raspberry and barnyard funk aromas. Very nice fruit and acidity, terrific with Tuscan milk-roasted pork shoulder.

There's a peppery edge to the tongue-staining black fruit. Spice punctuates the potent finish. Rather big for an Italian red, this offers plenty of interest at a fair price.

I loved the spiciness of this wine, with black and white pepper...
