85% Sangiovese, 10% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon Blackberries and cherries, a hint of leather in the nose; wonderfully dense texture; complex flavors: berries, black currants, an iron flintiness, chocolate; bright finish with lingering tannins. A really nice Super Tuscan, and a great accompaniment to veal Marsala and also nice with salted caramel chocolate balls afterward. 14% alcohol. Drinking well now, but should be solid for many years.

Reasonably good Italian Super Tuscan blend. More barnyard earthy than most. Some complexity and structure, but mostly a good Italian table wine that goes better with food. I drank over 3 days. It held up well, but the barnyard flavor never went away. Pricey for $18 at Costco; not good QPR. Trader Joe's has an Italian red called "1967" at half the price and twice as good.

Ruby red. Leather, cherry and earth on nose. Cherry on palate with nice acidity. Good value.
