Love the nose but pretty simple overall. Slightly warm too. Worth about 14 of the 16 dollars I paid the Garagiste.

My kind of RDM: fragrant, fresh, transparent, lean, and full of flavor. Kind of a surprise from such a hot year. Lightish color. Nose has fragrant, ripe, zippy cherry fruit, rock dust minerality, and a note of mint and fresh oregano. Lean, soft, intense flavors, with nice acidity and a clingy finish. A wee bit o' tannin. Almost seems more like a Chianti Classico than your typical RDM.

Fantastic wine with great fruit and a nice herbal tone on the end. Exactly what I love about Sangiovese.

This was actually quite nice - one of the few I can remember getting from garagiste that I really enjoyed. Good fruit and balance.

Red cherry, cranberry, licorice, spices, tastes like Sangiovese from Montalcino, orange pith and tobacco. Fabulously elegant acidity & fine, well-integrated tannin.
