Old school earthy complexity. Super fine tannins. Simply put, one of the best wines I've had.

Черные ягоды, кора, замша, горьковато. Вкус полный, чуть алкогольно, но в целом неплохо. 15/20 (85/100)

Mid palate is non existent but carries good acid and fruit through to the finish. Good food wine.

A nice CS/Sangiovese blend from around Pisa.
Very interesting how this evolves in the glass with the character of the two grapes coming out to shine and fading - sometimes this is very much reminiscent of a northern Medoc with gravelly black currants, a few minutes later the hallmark tomato leaf + some rusticity of Sangiovese emerges.
On the palate this is quite firm with a proper tannic frame filled with black cherry & black currant and juicy acidity.
Good depth & length and surprisingly youthful.

16+/20 (88+/100) Вино с ароматами малины, сливы, ванили и кедра. Довольно высокая кислотность и вяжущие танины. Ягодное во вкусе. Молодое с потенциалом.
