Young and vibrant ruby, carmine red, quite dense. Fairly balanced combination of aromas between barnyard and raspberries, with medium intensity. Fair intensity of fruit upon entrance, with good weight, fairly linear throughout the palate, low complexity, good character, nice structure balancing flavors of wild cherry and dark berries, with very dark flavors at the end, and balanced acidity. Young, fruit forward, mouth watering, though a bit boring. Intense character of Carmenere. Fairly well balanced. QPR.

Absolutely gorgeous ruby and blood color dark and medium density, vibrant and young. Nose of cherry bubblegum, a little cool-aid, a little licorice, and hints of creme de cassis. Also hints of granadine. Somewhat dissapointing upon entrance; quite hollow and meaningless until it reaches the 3rd third, and then shows a little bit of a flare, a bit of structure, and a finish of cherry soda, with some acidity, short to medium length, and a little tartness.

Dark purple red, very dense. Intriguing nose of manure and purple paint; not too expressive. This wine is rather in decline. Nice almost full body, but all is very atypical to sangiovese Flavors of black currant, and fairly strong acidity and somewhat disjointed finish. Not very harmonious or pleasant at all.
