Spectacular Super Tuscan Red! Blend of Cabernet Franc (60%), Cabernet Sauvignon (30%) and Petite Verdot (10%). Dark Ruby color with a slight garnet rim. Aromas of dark berry fruit, red and purple flowers, fresh and dried herbs and a nice earthy component. The lush palate includes flavors of black cherry/currant/raspberry along with savory herbs and dark chocolate. Beautiful mineral note on the extremely long finish. Quite intense, powerful and grippy but also very smooth and silky at the same time. Wonderfully complex. Outstanding!! — 6 days ago

Bright grippy and fierce. It isn’t deep with fruit or sweetness but the salinity helps it keep pace with the meal. I love it every time. — a month ago

A touch restrained in the nose. Calm plum and cherry. A hint of iron and violet fruit. Quite lean. Pretty — 2 months ago

The wine is full bodied wine, on nose its big strawberries, vanilla notes, leather and oak. On palate, acidity is medium+, chewy, creamy, firm structure, long finish, big fruits of course. This is a beautiful wine, considering 2018 is not an easy year for montalcino. Decant time is 1 hour, enjoy it now or keep it for 2-3 years. Cheers!! 🍷 — 2 days ago

Young vintage, but give it 20 mins in the decanter and it sings! — 24 days ago

Quite tense and grippy. Plum and black cherry, a hint of licorice and a steely spine. Young still. Hard to judge but beautifully balanced components — 2 months ago

Wine is full bodied, purplish. On nose its violets, black cherries, cheedar, earthy. On palate, its sweet, little spicy, i can taste the brightness from sangiovese buts its more vegal to me. The structure, merlot balanced the syrah so it does mellowed the syrah attack. Long finish, tannic, give it 1 hour decant. Best after 2028.. cheers! 🍷 — 12 hours ago

Intensely perfumed. Violets, roses, deep plum, strawberry. Polished and pretty on the midpalate. Not as complex as some. — 2 months ago
