Loving this. Red cherry tartness, medium to high acidity, smooth tannins, bit of fruit. Like a Bordeaux but with the citrus, tartness, and acidity of Italian wines. I'm exploring Super Tuscans and this one surprised me and is getting me to explore more of them. Love it.

Deep dark reddish purple in color, essentially opaque. Full, fragrant & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of cherries, blackberries & cassis with overtones of earthy/duty & floral notes of violets, herbs, spices, cocoa, tar, minerals & a hint of vanilla/oak. Full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of cherries, blackberries & plums with some spices, cocoa, herbs, minerals & hint of vanilla/oak. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting & extended airing but should develop further with additional aging.

Dark cherry, vanilla, more acidity than Bordeaux but a close cousin. Need to decant for a few hours. Very enjoable.
