  Dark garnet purple colored, nicely balanced, smooth and polished, black berry fruits accented by smokey clove spice, licorice, tobacco, hints of dark chocolate and herbs with earthy Tuscan notes indicating Tuscan terroir, turning to dusty tannins with tangy acids on a long finish.
  Drank from winelist at Italian Village Chicago.

  This is really in a great spot right now. Scents of smoke, black licorice, bacon fat, blackberries, and well seasoned oak. On the palate noted of char, blueberries, clove, and spice linger with tannin that's still mildly astringent and leaving me with the impression that this is a wine that still has time to age gracefully. Excellent - Outstanding. Medium body, medium acidity, med+ tannin, and a but of depth and balance that keeps it interesting with 2+ hours in the decanter.

  Delicious! From the first taste. Starting to get a little raisiny. Dark fruit, still some nice tannins.

  Dan and I had this wine out of the Sette Luna cellar. Lovely dark red black cherry fruit with a hint of leather and spice. And a hint of acidity. Dan loved this wine and it grew on me as k ate dinner.
