Ruby red with carmelized edges. It had light aromas of rich plums and cherries. It was balanced, had silky tannins and was full of rich dark fruit on the palate. It had a good long and rich finish. it is ready to drink

Decanted for 3 hours before a Tuscan tasting. This wine was very popular for the event, although my impression was it was so tight it never revealed much of anything. Big, dense, and loaded with oak, the wine has very firm tannins that need time to develop. Try again next year; drink now if you like overly assertive Tuscans. Seems like it is over-compensating for something.

Cherry, red berries and oak on the nose. Tastes of cherry, oak, forest fruit and red berries. Still somewhat stringent tannins.

Still a bit tight, but has all the makings of a good wine.
