Wonderful nose of cassis and violets. The mouthfeel is silky with black cherry, olives and loads of crushed minerals. The finish is long with firm tannins. This has quickly lost its youthful baby fat and is ready to drink now.

Trip to Italy 2006 (part 2); 6/13/2006-6/15/2006: Made from 50% sangiovese and 50% cabernet sauvignon & cab franc (they think roughly 30% cab sav and 20% cab franc but they don't actually know). Very nice nose. Berries and dark fruits. Yum. Smoother, rounder, but very nice, and somehow the sangiovese still shines through. Totally open for business. Nicely acidic and completely in harmony. Very ripe flavors. Absolutely wonderful for the 12 Euros they sell this for.
