7/18/2009 - Mitchie wrote: 92 pointsLots of acidity and tannin, needs some time to settle down. Medium bodied, with lots of Sangiovese flavors. Smoother and warmer on the second day. Very enjoyable and I'll hold my remaining for at least 2 years. |

The acidity is there and gives the wine a nice lift. Notes of cassis, red berries and a little mint on the palate. I'm a sucker for this wine - always delicious. |

Hint of sweetness nicely supported by acidity with some tropical fruits and lemon notes to a short to medium finish. Very enjoyable and great in the warm weather. |
