1 person found it helpfulAug 15th, 2019Happy anniversary to us. We were married in Cortona, Italy and discovered this wine. Now, we drink it at anniversary time. It's developed nicely since last year. Dark sweet/sour cherries, plum, blackberries, dry dark earthy presence, black cherry licorice, cherry cola, completely resolved tannins, dusty palate chalk, big acidity and nice juicy fresh fruit finish. Happy anniversary Sofia!
