A Sangiovese/Cab Sauv blend, deep Ruby with purple tones, aromas of dark berry fruits, sweet spice and slight oaky notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry and raspberry with notes of cacao, spices and licorice. Fine structured ripe tannins, long finish, ending with fruit, spice, oak and slight earthy notes. Nice! Tasting Ssmple!

A drunk the 2018 in 2021. Too early of course. A nice wine, a very good but standard wine.

1990 vintage in Sept 2019. Amazing earthy, leather aroma. Smooth on the tongue and wonderful dark cherry flavors. Perfect for an evening glass by itself!

Probably compromised but not unpleasant after a while, and a few glasses

Gripping!! Wraps tight and holds on. Tiny bit of eucalyptus on the back end and that is a good thing!
