Open and intense nose of cherry, plum, herbal notes. Intense, full bodied but fresh and precise on the palate. Acidity and tannins in good balance. Well drinkable now (decant), but can certainly be kept several years. Classic, good QPR. Need to buy more!

It's only 1pm here in Florence (in the middle of winter), and yet recent temps have this otherwise very cool building showing at a greatly higher than normal level - thus this wine is showing some more EtOH than others might encounter. That said, the aromas/flavors show decent, average typicity, but I'm wondering if the acids (if at a more ideal temperature) might let this show more/better character? Terrible review, I know, but the best I can do today. To revisit.
