Powerful at every phase. The bouquet, dark fruited earthy sweetness, and terroir markers are highly reminiscent of the producer's Brunello wines, but this wine features the unmistakable purity of varietally correct Cabernet Sauvignon, blackcurrant and peppers in particular. Concentrated, dense, balanced, and needing at least a decade to show its finest qualities. Worth seeking out. 94-95.

Nice straight cab...no Tuscan character...could be a cab from anywhere. 1.5 hour decant but not enough. Needs a lot of air or a few years.
