Gift from F&F, pulled to drink with a beef risotto. PnP, drank over two hours.
Medium/thin purple color. Nose of dark fruits and earth. Palate of tart blackberry, dark cherry, spice. Medium weight and finish. Easy drinking wine, was good with food. Not a lot of depth, my guess is this is built to be drunk young...good for everynight with casual food

Drinking beautifully in it's older age, structured notes of black fruits and damp earth along with great acidity make it an excellent food wine. It's certainly in its peak right now but I don't foresee it fading soon.

My Grade: VG. 80% Sangiovese, 20% Syrah. Dark Cherry in glass, medium depth, nose of cherries, licorice, black pepper, somewhat sweet red fruit on the palate, brawny mid palate, some structure, decent acidity, short, indistinguished finish. Good value for an IGT Toscana. (please see my profile for grades)

Red berries, blackberries and a bit of white pepper for spice, Very enjoyable , well balance integrated with fruit and tannin. Versatile in food partnering but exceptional with red sauce and Mediterranean tapas.

serviceable -- had several times as a second bottle and it was fine although didn't stand out
