March 15, 2016 - I've now drank several vintages of this wine and I can only say this is a well-made, fresh, full-bodied wine. I think it helps to drink it a little on the cool side, say 16 C degrees . It has good balance and acidity. The cherry and tabacco nose come back in the flavours. Soft tannins, but I still think you can keep this wine for 10 years in which it will evolve nicely. Its not very complex, although I notice there there is more going on, but subtlely. In my book very much an enjoyable wine.

March 21, 2015 - Sangiovese Cabernet Merlot blend, dominant Sangiovese evident from acid bite and red fruit. Approachable, food friendly but I wouldn't call it "super" anything. Medium finish.
