Ordered this wine in Jamie's Italian during our vacation onboard the Royal Carribbean "Quantum of the Seas."
Bright purple in colour with good intensity, focus and acidity on the palate. Sour cherry, with some vanilla and raspberries. The Sangiovese worked very well with the Merlot to create something which was better than the sum of its parts. Would have given an 86 on most occasions, but the food (and service) at Jamie's was excellent and I was obviously in a very good mood (holiday with my family on the seas), so I am going to give it an 88.
Good wine, but not life changing or memorable in any big way. Went very well with the lamb chops which were excellent at Jamie's.

Хороша кислотність, таніни надмірні (можливо, ще хочуть часу). Ягідна частина відсунута на другий план, невиразна

Really nice out of the gate, pop and pour. Nice black current, good balance, and grippy tannins. We loved this wine over shrimp tempura and calamari.

Tight structure and comes with a tart, drying bite.
Five or ten years will do good things for this wine.
(Last btl, opened by mistake when the brain was comatose.)
