85? Fugetaboutit! WS says 90 pts and I agree. This has ample structure and near perfect balance of fruit, tannin, and acidity, plus an excellent qpr! What's not to like? I'm partial to good Italian reds and this did not disappoint!

Just OK for me. Very drinkable but no outstanding features. I found it a bit dry, but full bodied. My wife thought it was fruity. Just not a fit for my palate.
