Le vin dégage de beaux arômes de cerises noires, de vieux bois, avec une note viandé également. L'attaque en bouche est douce avec des tanins majoritairement fondus. De longueur moyenne.

Musty with sweet cherry notes in the nose. Bright cherry with some dark oak in the palate. Medium light body. Light acid with steely, meat fat notes on the finish. I preferred the 2010 Il Poggione Rosso with a similar price point.

Very reduced when the bottle was first opened, it did come around after 30 minutes when it became complex and soft. A second bottle was better but still quite similar.

Kings of Tuscan Wine (Wine World, Seattle, WA): Very fruit forward; rich yet light, and quite round on the palate. Finishes with good acidity but rough-edges on the tannins. It really needs some time to integrate, but shows potential.

Terroir nose. Truly smells of the earth at sunrise, when dew is on the vines. Tobacco, cassis, chewy, violets, lingers on the palate with lovely clean finish. Good level of tannins, with a complete beginning, middle and end.

Retailer tasting: The bouquet has some earthiness and spiciness, but is not really complex. On the palate a juicy and supple wine with some earthiness, some sweetness in good balance with the acidity and a bit drying tannin. Youthful and easy accessible wine. Ready now and the next few years.

Definite improvement over the bottle drunk a year ago; much less tight. Nose was somewhat muted. Sweet cherries on the palate.

Leather must and dark cherry comes to mind. This one has a little brett on it. This Rosso is screaming for food

Fruity, a bit tight and acidic, some spice. Overall pretty solid.
