  My last bottle. After dealing with some glass cleaning issues, this was honestly really fresh, floral, plummy, some red fruit. Sweet, medium-full bodied, discreet and fine tannins, just a little touch of a chew at the end. Some oak and petrichor. Delicious and charming.

  purplish dark ruby and medium-plus body. a little bit of funk blows off quickly and then shows black cherries, blackberries, and hints of nutmeg and cocoa in the nose. dry and structured in the mouth and with notable acidic lift, it has good intensity to the fruit to stand up to those elements. somewhat layered with spice, cocoa powder and fresh herb notes along the plummy fruit. good length.
  
  was a bit more nuanced on the second day, suggesting further development and upside potential. as it is, it's a juicy, enjoyable, uncomplicated (which is not to say simple) Tuscan expression of Merlot that should drink well for a handful of years.
  
  13.5% AbV; mostly Merlot with a splash of Alicante; i have no details on elevage, but the use of oak has been judicious.

  Burning through these again. Balanced, sweet, nice finish. Honestly could be in a tasting with 2019 Mondot.

  Medium bodied, high acid wine that provides an expression of Merlot from Tuscany.
  
  Juicy plums, violets, burnt soil/carmellized sugars, smokiness, oak, spice. Simple and nice.

  Exactly what we thought it was, to repeat the phrase. Great pizza wine tonight. Not sure I see it lasting for another 10 years though.
