Worked really well as a PnP, which was a bit of a surprise given some of the tn's. Deep brick red, clear. Aromas are complex and deep, given the price point and the vintage, this is in the exceeds category. Well put together, with just the slightest nod to the modern camp, but only by the last glass. Not one for the ages, but hard to beat as a really well-grown food wine under $20. recommended, 14,0% abv, thru 2015

Essentiellement composé de sangiovese, il s'avère meilleur la journée même que le lendemain. Plaisant en bouche par son côté soyeux et épicé. Bon compagnon d'un pizza toute garnie.

- Garnet color - Hint of cherries on the nose. Taste is tannic. Little hint of fruit on the taste. Longish finish. Can see some potential in the mid term.

nice acid for food pairings...nothing super special. Thought it would open up after a couple of hours, but never did...

Bought via wine shopper deal. I really enjoyed this more than others ratings. Rich flavor, dry.
