Deep ruby with a good nose of cherry. Tannins well integrated with good fruit profile. Dark cherry, blackberry, licorice, sweet tobacco leaves and iodine. On pnp a tad on the alcoholic side (14.5%), but this settled well after an hour or two. Well balanced, juicy and easy drinking. Very delicious. Drink or hold

Ripe and rich, but enough acidity to avoid going over the top. Commercial and crowd pleasing profile, but it works. Somewhere between classic and modern

Nose of black pepper, damp forest floor, and sage. Dark fruit and espresso on the palate, along with chicory, oregano, dry black cherry, and other herbal notes. Thick tannins on the finish with more dry black cherry, oak, allspice, and layers of damp, silty earth.

Muscular, complex and tasty showing black pepper, blackberry and cigar box layered with currant and smoky notes. This is a full bodied wine with medium to high acidity. I paired it with Bison steak and it was fantastic. NI:4, FI:23, FC:8, B:3, L:4

Vin bien balancé dans son ensemble, belle profondeur, structure et longeur. Rien ne semble sortir de l’ordinaire pour l’instant et peut être revue dans un bon 5 ans. Un beau Toscan, sans être spectaculaire!

Tasted after 2014 Chianti Classico. More generous on nose and palate, more depth. Good acidity, ripe fruit, well integrated tannins. A bit simple, but good. 89-91

Decanted for 3 hours. Red fruit, black fruit, cinnamon, cigar box. Well balanced and sexy. Beautiful bottle. Will get some of the 2015 vintage.

Toujours fermé après 2 heures de carafe. Beau fruits noirs, belle structure. Avenir prometteur . À revoir dans 2-3 ans.

Great balance in this wine. Silky tannins with ripe black fruits. I like it a lot. In its youth but enjoyable now.

Russk. Suckling great wines of Italy tasting at the Moore building. Over mature tasting. True for both wines sampled
