April 10, 2018 - There's a hint of rose petal on the nose which is refreshing. Still holding on though the window may be closing. Go ahead and drink-up.

March 20, 2015 - We bought this bottle at a local shop but first experienced the winery in Florence at the Frescobaldi restaurant we had an awesome time there and would love to go back some time.
The wine is nice for the price point. Dark fruit, a bit of blackberry. Nice mouth feel and good finish.
Edit: did not try it on the second night it was opened but on the third night it was a little better. -

January 18, 2014 - Medium ruby with purple glimmers in glass. Bright cherry on nose. Balanced, minerally palate with black cherry and underlying herbs. Drying tannins for complexity. A lot of wine for the money. Drnk soon.
