February 12, 2011 - Nice wine. Oaky but with good fruit. Some cherries and earth coming through after aeration. Probably at its peak right now. Relatively high acidity and medium body, soft tannins. Suited our home made Italian dinner menu. Satisfying.

July 15, 2010 - Bricking colour. Decanted about half an hour. Dark cherry and berries on the nose, a lot of oak, and a slight chocolate note. Quite oaky on the palate but fruit well present, little tannins, high (but rather pleasant) acidity, medium-body, overall decent balance, not heavy. Short+ finish. Clearly recognizable Tuscan taste. This has already peaked and won't improve further, drink now/soon.

July 14, 2010 - A bit of oak quite rough wine. Some spicy tendencies with an aftertaste of berries. When you let the wine rest in the glass for a wile more and more berries show up. And after even long time you get more earthy notes.
Ekig, lite strävare, små kryddig, eftersmak av bär kanske lite en. Med luftning kommer mer och mer bär fram och ännu senare mer mörka jordiga toner
