  Pale ruby in glass with garnet hues. Medium plus intensity on the nose. Cherries, menthol, roses and tar. High acidity and tannins that need time. Medium plus finish. Good potential. Hold next bottle for at least 2-3 years. Great qpr at $35.

  Lovely lovely drop. Perfect with cheese board. At very start of long drinking window in my view. Superb heady nose of violets, roses and terracotta that increased in perfume with time in the glass. Still young and drying tannins that, of course, softened and rendered the mouthfeel fuller with food. The red cherry fruit and mid palate filled out 90 mins or so after opening.

  I should have bought more! Part of a Sangiovese night at a high end Italian restaurant in NYC. Slightly less acidic than the other 2 Sangiovese wines we had, and my favorite.

  Popped and poured. Nice nose of bright red fruits. People commented that they could smell thecnose from across the room. Great mouthfeel with smooth well integrated tannins. Long finish. Red cherry, a little tar, spice and minerals. Really nice wine and the first bottle to be finished. Would definitely buy again.

  This was good from the start but better overnight. It’s also an improvement from my prior taste two years ago. Nonetheless it still has searing acidity and mouth drying tannins. The fruit however is light and juicy with a beautiful truffle backing. Solid for the price but needs a few more years.
