  Although not overly tannic initially, better after 2+ hours open in bottle. Nice Sangiovese medium plus acidity with a more rounded profile and smoothness due to the Merlot. Dark cherry/plums flavors. Great pairing with marinated meat & heavier IT food.

  Merlot/Sangiovese combo. You get the best of both worlds with nice fruit, along with acidity and plush tannins. Also had some good funk to boot. Really enjoyable.

  Decanted 1/2 hour. Strawberry , currant , herbs with a little smoke. Medium bodied, good finish. Probably upside over time.

  Erde, Leder, Holz, Rotfrucht. Riecht wie ein 15 Jahre alter Bordeaux - Sehr überraschend old world.
  Weiche Tanine, gut eingebunden
  Langer Abgang
