Estimate
Deep, full-bodied, very ripe and complex. Tastes a bit savage, boasting earthy, dried herbal, salty, milky and red berry, dried fruit character...long, impressive finish.
...very sweet and rich... Very lively. Flirtatious. Quite high in acidity...lovely stuff!
...full integrity of fruit...notes of sweet cherry and damson jam — rich and evocative of a summer picnic by the beach. Delicious...slender yet exuberant; it is spicy and exotic, but it’s also simply beautiful, balanced and elegant.
...impressive retrospective of Italian greatness...remarkable sense of integrity and fullness with dark fruit, pressed rose and lavender, canned fruit, savory spice, barbecue spice and a sharp touch of sour cherry...intensity of the bouquet underlines the warm Tuscan... The fine tannins are folded neatly within the wine's streamlined texture.
