really superb. A nose with a lot going on, reminiscent of Tuscan automn forest (never been there, but you get the picture). Palate follows through in complexity, with acadity and stilly dusty tannins giving structure. Last bottle, alas.

Medium to deep ruby. Intense nose of tobacco leaf, dusty incense, earth, tart black cherries. After awhile it became slightly sweeter with floral and cedar notes as well. Medium bodied with loads of fine, silky tannins on the palate; great food wine, elegant and very well balanced. This should only get better, but is delicious right now. 92+

Good but drink now, definitely on the downside of its cycle.

Similar to my last notes, elegant Vino Nobile. The fine tannins are showing a bit on the finish, so this has a ways to go yet.
