Lovely brick color - needs some oxygen for 15-20 minutes before drinking. Stewed cherries, forest floor, leather, slight orange peel essence. Well balanced. Light to medium body. Nose jumps out of the glass. Not a sipper, but outstanding with food. Had with pizza (sausage and mushroom) and it went together well. If you don't have money or time for a Brunello, try this.

Very nice colour. Nice nose of dark cherry and spice surrounded by pronounced earthy notes. Medium body palate had great flavors of crushed cherries transitioning to a smoky finish. VEry good value. Will definitely buy again.

Great wine - I feel this is ready to drink now. Dark berries and a bit of peppar. Can be served to a good steak.
