  August 5, 2015 - Nose: Slight oak characteristic
  Palate: Surprisingly fruit forward for an Italian wine. More New World characteristic. Surprising for a "Super-Tuscan". In combination with a lack of backbone -- OK but nothing special -- even at this price point.

  July 6, 2013 - I've liked this wine more in the past - may have held on to this one a bit longer than I should.
  
  Begins with aromas of black cherry. Leather and earth on the palate, a bit more bitter on the back end than I remember. Decent finish.
  
  I still think this is a very decent wine for the price point generally, but it's not one to cellar. Drink it early.

  March 10, 2013 - Didn't dig this bottle as much as the last -- seemed too smooth, creamy, and oaky. Maybe I was just in a bad mood.

  February 11, 2013 - Begins with a very aromatic fruit and floral bouquet. This wine has wonderful intense aromas of black and red cherry, lavender, violet and even a hint of banana. The medium-bodied wine tastes of dark fruit flavors like blackberry and plum plus a bit of spice. Tart fruit flavors come to the forefront on the medium-long finish. Very easy to drink and even easier to enjoy.
