This one is at its prime now. Beautiful forward note of bright dark red fruit, forest floor and, mushrooms. The palate is as silky and velvety as any Tuscan wine I have tasted with very very fine dusty tannins. Black fruit and chocolate show up on the mid palate for more complexity. Decent finish.

Weak and diluted. No structure. This bottle was well past it's prime. Unfortunate, because flavors suggest that it might have once been a really nice wine. Perhaps this bottle was not stored properly, but my recommendation would be to drink this now if you've got it. Doesn't seem to have the stuffing for the long haul.

Awesome effort here. Popped and poured with homemade veal parm and pasta with homemade red sauce. There is a lot going on here with the earth/stone/mineral 'funk' from the sangiovese to the blackberry and black cherry from the cab. Tannins and acid have mellowed beautifully. Nice long finish (30s) with chocolate, blackberry and mineral. Wish I bought more of this. If you have some, pop one now as it is really singing. 91-93 points.

Wow. Decanted for one hour before drinking. Time will help but this is a blockbuster at the price ($28) right now. Lush mouthfeel and finish goes on and on and on... I will be buying a few more bottles of this...
