The wine is medium ruby with developed medium minus aromas of violet, raspberry red currant red cherry red plum strawberry vanilla charred wood, tar, chocolate, and tobacco. This is a dry wine with medium intensity flavors and medium body high acidity medium tannins and high alcohol. This wine has primary flavors of red cherry, red currant, strawberry and cranberry and secondary flavors of vanilla, charred wood, and chocolate. Tertiary flavors of tar and tobacco also noted. This wine has a medium + finish and is a very good quality wine. This wine should be drunk now and not suitable for aging.

PnP. Fully mature rosso wine, with plenty of leather, some dried cherry, etc. The palate is medium bodied, with a resinous top coat, avg length and complexity. Time to drink up, so enjoy now (even if it's still got a little time). Plenty good for Monday night leftovers. recommended
Bit of a last minute decision to open it but worth it.
Classic Tuscan flavours (morello cherries and all that) but with hints of sloes and even rich fruit cake in there too. Nose was slightly closed (and stayed that way) but there were some tobacco notes in there, maybe even some cinnamon. Perhaps getting towards the end of its life but still a lot of fruit, even if in the dried fruit end of the spectrum. Excellent length

Sadly more than half of the bottles I purchased had issues. Would not buy again due to this inconsistency.

Tart cherry and tobacco with soft tannins. No burn from the alcohol. This wine is on the dryer side and was very good alongside lasagna
