Wine Spectator School: Tuscany and Sangiovese Part II (Minneapolis, MN): Opened 2 hours prior to tasting. Intense dark purple in color with garnet on the rim. The aromas were of dark fruit, blueberry, floral, and subtle vanilla/oak. The tannins are very well integrated and completely in balance with the moderate acidity and medium/full body. The finish was quite long with a great deal of complexity, with a striking floral note. Drinking incredibly well right now!

Exciting bottle. Extremely vibrant fruit with a structure that can last another decade or more while very drinkable now.
