Légère déception sur cette cuvée.Robe bien évoluée.Bouquet d'intensité moyenne qui offre des senteurs de sous-bois,de terre mouillée de fruits rouges (cerise,framboise).La bouche est relativement souple avec 80% CS en cépage majoritaire.Longueur finale bonne sans être grandiose.J'en attendais beaucoup plus vu la qualité globale du millésime et de surcroit je ne suis pas certain que des années supplémentaires en cave vont le bonifier davantage.A boire.

From magnum , a good wine, holding up well, a full spine with muted fruit but fruit nonetheless. Easily recognizable as Italian style. I was given a recent vintage of this makers chianti , I am looking forward to trying that sooner than I waited on this.

Guido L note very instructive. In a very nice mature spot but feels like it will hold here. Well integrated blend of dark fruit, herbs, touch of plum, tar and cedar, resolved tannin, medium finish. Drinking v well.

It seemed slightly ripe on the nose, although it did not show this on the palate. Black cherry, blackberry, chocolate. Tannins still present but melted down during the hours of drinking. Ready to drink.

Black fruit bomb in nose, red in palate. Strong oak gets stable after 20-30 mins of breathing, and then it’s just spectacular. Blackberry, cherry, plum, tobacco, vanilla in nose with intensity. Soft medium tannin and velvety texture make this great. Though sangiovese is not main variety in the bottle, the small portion shows the tuscan character with gentle acidity, and makes it distinguishable from Bordeaux blend.
