  May 31, 2022 - quite enjoyable with definite aged characteristics of balsamic and dried prunes, but quite nice on the palate with a nice balanced finish. if your holding I would drink up as on the edge.

  December 29, 2019 - Beau vin frais et épicé, encore une belle acidité.
  Des petites cerises, du poivre, de l`anis et une pointe
  de mentholée avec de beaux tannins bien enrobés.
  Finale longue et épicée.
  Super bon avec les raviolis dinde-Prosciutto maison
  de Carol.

  September 23, 2019 - Bu chez Sylvie et Carol avec son Spaghetti pates fraiches
  aux polpettes.
  Wow, superbe accord, avec les Stroboli de Carol aussi!
  Nez fragrant sur les petits fruits, les épices et les herbes.
  En bouche, cerises et fraises avec de l'anis et du poivre,
  un peu de Laurier aussi. Les tanins sont fins avec une fine
  amertume vers la fin.
  Long et délicieux.

  Sangiovese, merlot and cabernet sauvignon. A mature yet still wood-inflected nose here, this is clearly advanced with its vermouth-like flavours, though wood tannins are still astringent and puckering. A case of over making the wine it appears; can't see this improving much. Tasted January 2016. Value Rating: *

  A satisfying and handsomely rustic biodynamic Sangiovese-led IGT blend with lead, graphite, dusty cherry and plenty of hide to leather antiquity. The firm vintage has evolved to this copacetic point, the expatriate meets endemic union no longer obtuse or extreme. This has settled really nicely, thanks to what was and lingers as solid acidity and once grippy tannin. Life from energy persists and though I would imagine there will be some who think it common or non-descript, there can be no denying the solid winemaking and balance struck. The older oak barrels have done their job, even if the fruit was a bit on the riper side of the rows. Drink 2015-2018. Tasted December 2015.

  December 23, 2016 - Did expect a bit more. Mostly Sangiovese in the forefront with some cherry notes and nuances of plum . Weak mid palate. Nice finish with noticeable tannins which safe the experience.
