  Informal notes. N: Typical damp earth, dried herb and cherry with a dash of dark fruit. P: More of the same with a medium body and resolved tannin. F: Not the most complex bottle ever, but easy drinking and interesting enough to keep your attention. This drinking well now and seemed to be at peak for my tastes. A solid 91-92

  Very pretty nose. Rose petals, damp earth, sour cherry, even some wild strawberry, Mediterranean herb and cured meat. Beautifully balanced on the palate, with a breadth and complexity that is striking. Tightens up on the finish, with roasted tomato, more cured meat and a tinge of iron. Some softer, fuzzy tannins and tame acidity say this is ready to go but should sit nicely for quite awhile. Excellent example of Sangiovese. From a vineyard planted in the 60s aged a year in 300-500L French tonneaux.

  Last night I opened a bottle two years after the following note- it has really improved and is drinking beautifully now, probably worthy of 91 points.
  
  It’s quite bright and fresh looking in the glass with a deep garnet shade. On the nose – rhubarb crumble, cherry and chocolate dust. On the palate it is refreshing, tart and brimming with red fruits. There’s a hint of balsamic as well as coconut on the initial. The mid palate gives me some woody notes alongside the red currants and cherry. The tartness gets a little spiky and herbaceous on the finish, a little off-putting. Overall this is a tasty wine that has some structure to last a few years in cellar but is drinking nicely now. I’m gonna bury the others I have as I believe they will improve vastly with a bit of age. Made from Organic grapes and costing $50 makes it a wee bit pricy. Pair it with Fettucine or pot roast, perhaps Osso Bucco.. Drink till 2035. 90 points from me (the pros went as high as 95!) and 3 stars.

  A nose of dark fruit and spice, dark garnet in color. A medium to full bodied red, with black cherry, raspberry, licorice and spice on finish, in a good drinking zone. www.winelx.com
