70/30 merlot/sangiovese. whoa. head spins. tasting anything from Chianti, the juxtaposition of Merlot post Sangiovese is wild! leads with purple fruits- plum.

Very good still, though probably past its peak, the oriental Merlot spice and cherry-fresh Sangiovese works well, but sadly the oak hasn't integrated yet, and probably never will.

Smelled like band-aids and weakly developed secondary aromas. A Garagiste purchase.
