  A "super Tuscan" wine with a distinctly "old world" touch. Brick red with orange/yellow on the edges in color. Plum and dust on the nose. Not full bodied, but with a distinct soft and round texture. Plums on the palate, backed up by tannins (strong immediately after opening but rapidly receding afterwards), a little touch of wood. A long finish, but a weak (albeit elegant) one, with slight hints of eucalyptus. A wine that is at its peak now and maybe for another year or so.

  Medium ruby red and already showing some bricking. Barnyard on the nose with mocha and cherries. Restrained. Full-bodied with red fruit and not much else. Tart finish.
