A deep burgundy shading to maroon at the rim with the opaque core hiding the abundant sediment that it’s throwing. The nose exhibits plum, blackberry, iodine, smoked meats, and eucalyptus that then tracks exactly on the palate. Lighter in body but very Italian in style … and food friendly. Delightfully deft. A fair amount of sediment. 14% alc. With blue cheeses and truffled cheese over seared (beef) sirloin steak. 12.22.23. Recommended.

Excellent wine. Bought from the winery and opened about 6 months later at home. Nose isn't too long, but great mouthfeel and nice meaty, dark fruits on the palate. Long, pleasant finish.

Juniper, black pepper, black fruits, thyme, very spicy especially on the quite long finish, but all surprisingly finely woven, with good tannins and high acidity providing freshness and balance. A wine with a lot of character. Still young, but very beautiful. 17+/20

Bought from the winery 7-8y ago. There is a Tuscan feel after all, fleshy with moderate oak treatment that seem to be nicely integrated. Juicy, with hints of lavender and maybe thyme. I must admit very delicious and in perfect shape now, will keep...

Wow! I was never expecting a Syrah from Tuscany to score this highly. This had aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, wild thyme, lavender, a whiff of tobacco, this leads to a full-body and rich palate full of overripe dark black fruit, liquorice, anise, vanilla, crushed stones with polished tannins and lively acidity. The finish was long and elegant. Super impressed!
