Consumed over 2 days, vacuvined, consistent over both. Nose: Expressive scents of black cherry and black berry with cream soda. Palate: Well balanced, good fruit up front but disappears through the mid-palate and ends with an artificial fruit sensation. Finish: The fruit reappears and this wine recovers somewhat. Overall an enjoyable wine that lacks mid-palate intensity.

Very solid and drinkable wine. Goes well with creamy or carbo rich food. Yet too firm to be enjoyed by itself. Strawberry/Raspberry nose, firm attack and full mouth, taste is rich in blackcurrant, traces of cinnamon and ginger with quite some earth. Short length with stale acidic after-taste.

Very nice, dark purple/black, notes of plum, cherries, earth and vanilla oak on the nose, velvety smooth and balanced on the palate with an excellent finish - Great QPR! (90 Points).

Nice Super Tuscan wine with good fruit on the nose. On the dryer side and could use a bit longer finish but it does match well with traditional Italian dishes. Smooth and easy to drink.

A good bottle of Italian Red, very nice blend of sangiovese and Cab Sauv. Had some good body to it that also went well with Spaghetti and meatballs. Nice old world/new world aromas. Good wine, would buy again.

Deep dark purple color. Intense nose of blackberries and prunes with vanilla nuances. Medium to full-bodied, with ripe berries, plum and chocolate flavours on well supporting tannins and kicking acidity. Medium finish.

Medium dark purple. Rich plummy nose. Chewy, rustic, plum bordering on prune. Pleasant enough, medium tannins, short/medium finish.

Decent wine, nothing that really jumped out or was memorable other than being enjoyable.

Jen liked it more than Nick. Was OK, nothing special.
