  Keeps getting better. Raspberry, liquorice, fennel and leather with some incredibly sour cherry and thrilling acidity. A gentle tannin twist at the long, long finish. A RdM drum I continue to bang, but very very few chiantis will get near at this price point. Delicious.

  Would guess that this will get much better in about 3 years or so. Maybe not much longer than that.

  Full 180 on my previous note. This is deliciously light with strawberry and candy notes, refined fruit, racey acidity and a nice gentle lick of Smokey oak. Bought for a modest price, this will reward with cheesy foods.

  A solid effort, featuring strawberry and wood notes, flowers and bright acidity. Not a game-changer, but what we expected from a very good quality RdM.

  Light, traditional Sangiovese texture with pleasingly restrained oak influence. Some nice herbal notes but overall this is fairly underwhelming and is, I think, a good example of why RdMs generally have a fairly poor reputation. Decent but, at this price point, not a lot of interest here. 87
