Nicely balanced wine with plenty of fruit on the palate. Still very fresh after 8 years in the bottle. Smooth tannins. The Merlot softens the Sangiovese nicely. Nice effort!

Starts off a bit austere and dry, but full of black current and nice long fading fruit that sweetens right towards the end. Surprised it is being given 2010-2015 - to me seems like no rush on this, tannins still in your face on first opening... Softens within a couple of hours...
Ripe sweet dark roasted plummy nose and some herby notes. Dark plums, blackberries, sweet liqourice notes. Ripe fruitiness, rather toasty and heavy, chocolatey and rather high in alcohol.

Such a shame to drink our last one. Great memories of the vineyard though. Delish.
