Did not enjoy this bottle as much as the other Tuscan Merlots today. Thought this was somewhat overdone, too massive, too sweet and some rough oak still. Not a bad wine, just not as elegant as I would prefer. - 90 points

Massive wine with lots of oak, chocolate, ripe dark plum, dark cherry, and cassis on the nose. More oak on the palate with noticeable alcohol, very very ripe flavors, more dark fruit, toast, and charred wood on the palate. Medium finish. Hard to drink and not at all my thing. Much too ripe and little finesse. However, it did taste quite a bit better on day 2 and I can appreciate the overall quality of the fruit, so I’ll give it that. Might score quite a bit higher for people who like this style of wine.

Very ripe dark and red berry fruits and beautiful garrigue in the bouquet. On the palate beautiful and mature with impressions of earth, autumn forest and beautiful acidity and still a lovely bite. A great pleasure now, but probably wise not to wait much longer.

Interesting. Maybe a little young? Black cherry, coffee, licorice and mint. More tannin than I expected. Tastes like a little cab in the blend?
