Community Tasting Note

  July 2, 2012 - Decanted briefly then had with a series of antipasti. Deep burgundy color suggesting a bit of oxidation. Characteristic leaden Tuscan nose. Tart, prominent fruit, full body with heavy-handed oak, leather and spice. Strong food wine but a bit cloying on its own. I fear that aging will mute the bracing tannins and make the high acidity stand out unduly, so would probably drink within 1-2 years. I don't remember what I paid, but I'd be happy if it was $10-$15.
