88 Points

Monday, December 13, 2021 - Ordered this wine in Jamie's Italian during our vacation onboard the Royal Carribbean "Quantum of the Seas."

Bright purple in colour with good intensity, focus and acidity on the palate. Sour cherry, with some vanilla and raspberries. The Sangiovese worked very well with the Merlot to create something which was better than the sum of its parts. Would have given an 86 on most occasions, but the food (and service) at Jamie's was excellent and I was obviously in a very good mood (holiday with my family on the seas), so I am going to give it an 88.

Good wine, but not life changing or memorable in any big way. Went very well with the lamb chops which were excellent at Jamie's.
