March 19, 2017 - The nose showed a seductive, and truly tuscan, display of sweet cherries, raspberry, dusty spice, dried flowers, floral undergrowth and hints of new leather. On the palate, I found silky textures with perfectly balanced acidity that tugged at the senses as crunchy red fruits mixed with sweet spices and hints of light tannin to form a tactile and almost thirst quenching experience. The finish was vibrant with mineral-infused sweet cherry and lingering spice. Wow! My only regret is that I didn't buy a case.

Do you have any thoughts on drinking window for this? All the notes seem to indicate its good to go now, but there's nothing explicit.
Thanks! -
