AW90. Initial burst of bright cherry flavour and a great, classic tuscan nose. But trails off a little in the glass, becoming more muted. I'm sure it's a little too young and deserves another decade, but it is approachable now with a short decant.

Always good value at around 40 eur. Rich fruity plums and cherry 🍒 kirsch from the ripe vintage. Smells like Tuscany . Enjoy now. I would not sit on this vintage (other years age gracefully, but I don’t see the point for this vintage). Great upon opening after two hours and the next day. A quarter serious and three quarter fun fruit.

Looking at the other notes I noticed the “pleasant” descriptor. I think this is about right. It’s enjoyable and easy to drink but a bit non descript. Seems more on modern side, not sure what this will develop into but fine to drink now.

2020 seems young, but this is already quite enjoyable in 2023. Dark red with lots of berries and hints of cherry in the nose. On the palate it adds hints of vanilla, tobacco and some leather. Quite some value for the money and definitely more than "just a second wine".

Has blackberry, cedar, vanilla and floral notes with a high acidity and medium-plus tannin and body. Pleasant tasting wine.
