20 months in barrique and that still kinda shows. Has the bunch of the new wood still. Which is helping it out. A little bit sweeter on the palate as well. But still a touch hard.

Black husky dark fruit to it. Some earthy on the nose. Does have a bit more cherry in the mid palate, and then of course tons of grip on the palate and back of the palate. Always a sangiovese blend but that's got to have some Sagrantino in there. And there is some Merlot in there as well.

Black fruit on the nose, smells of a long time in barrel, stilll fresh and tannic on the palate, but maybe not so fresh on the nose. Maybe its not suppose to be fresh. Touches of earth and band aid. That's got power, and refined.
