April 26, 2024 - Very nice wine. Cherry, nice fruit with sweet undertones, well balanced by earthy aromas, smooth tannins and some wood. Really good length. Well balanced acidity.
Pleasure to drink now, but would drink up soon. once fruit starts to fade then wine will become imbalanced despite good tannins and acidity.1 person found this helpful Comment -

March 23, 2024 - Another nice showing, went very well with a sausage pasta dish. Crisp and crunchy with bright red fruits.

February 12, 2024 - moderate depth of color, reddish rim. on the nose very aromatic with earthy, bretty red chambertain like cherry pits, savory herbs, background oak spices. on the palate very high acidity, moderate midpalate weight, moderate to high amount of well integrated, drying tannins, moderate alcohol. balanced wine with very good length, great intensity, very good complexity. wine has finesse, a fine texture, excellent expression of place. drinking great now, old school style sangio with old and large oak feel that is drinking well.
