Decanted two hours,
NOSE: dark berries, fresh herbs (mint and bright tobacco), a whiff of mocha. Mild, but pretty darn good.
TASTE: lovely. Cocoa plus both savoury and baking herbs - not much fruit. Like a lighter and more elegant Rioja. 91.
EDIT: I see now that I tried this exact wine two years ago and didn’t like it at all. I presume the difference is the two years of age and the long decant. Maybe the last bottle was off also, who knows - or I was. Anyway, wow - what a difference! — 3 years ago

A Sangiovese clone that I really like. Made by Caparzo. Lighter and more fruit forward than a chianti Classico. Black cherry and blackberry with a smooth finish. Enjoyable bottle of wine. — 8 years ago
Good dry with just enough berry flavor, earth and woody. Makes you pucker! :-) — 9 years ago
