Dark inky colored, full bodied, rich extracted fruit, aromatic, black cherry and black raspberry fruits with notes of tobacco leaf, tea and hints of tar on a smooth silky tannin laced finish. Nice complement to our zesty Italian pasta dinner! https://unwindwine.blogspot.com/2022/02/gala-family-celebration-dinner-at.html

The wine has improved over the last year. This is a full throttle big wine that now has softened. This is one of the many wines that needed some bottle age to really be enjoyed. Great wine! Wish I had more.

(B) Much improved over my sample at the winery, with some nice Sangiovese character coming through. Fruit is right up front with nice granular tannin. The acid still shows strong, which is nice depending on the food you are eating. Nice cool fruit finish. Not much complexity, but I don't think this vintage was ever going to find any. Drink now.

Dinner Party Blind Tasting - Bigger than I expected. It seemed like it could benefit from more time as it is still rough around the edges.
