...has the stuffing and pedigree to develop into a splendid wine. This is a fabulous showing, especially within the context of the vintage.
Wonderful silky texture to this red with a beautiful currant and berry character as well. Full body, with caressing mouthfeel.
This is a historic wine that consistently delivers an elegant interpretation of Tuscan Sangiovese. It opens with bright pulses of cherry and raspberry, plus a dark tone of leather. The palate is silky, fresh and long-lasting.
Plum, cherry and chocolate flavors mesh with the rich texture in this red, with bright acidity and dusty tannins keeping it fresh and focused. Fine length.
Moderately dense and sweet, showing modest fat but good intensity to its aromatic herb and blueberry flavor. A tad undifferentiated today, with the herb and pepper elements carrying through to the firm finish.
