This wine had almost nothing on the nose, even after being opened 1 hour a vigorous swirl in the glass was not producing much. On the palate the tannins were very harsh and drying, masking any fruit that might have been lurking there. Disappointing and will avoid.

(Tasted Blind): Intense fruit notes burst forth on this full-bodied, powerful wine. Plenty of sour cherry, creme fraiche and earthy notes complexed with some undergrowth and button mushrooms. Fairly massive wine, a tangy acidity still keeps it going. Moderately rich, this is a pretty good, if hefty, example. Blend of Sangiovese, Syrah, and Petit Verdot,

Opened and decanted and let rest for about 1 hour. This seems somewhat closed; it has a nice mushroom, earthy sangiovese component and good structure but the fruit is a bit muted.
