Bright fruit and medium tannins soften as the wine breathes. The aromas of dark chocolate and cherry that are present from the first moment manifest on the palate after about thirty minutes and mature into delicate raspberry and chocolate balanced by hints baking spice (mostly nutmeg) and a dash of sage. From the first sip to the last pour from the decanter, this beautiful wine lingers with a long finish of chocolate covered cherries.

This is an excellent wine! When Sting wrote his iconic "Message in a Bottle" he sang of the universal human need to connect. With aromas of cherries and wild blackberries (and you can taste it) the bottle says it goes most perfectly with friends, loved ones and convivial conversation so send an SOS to someone to come and share it with you! This is actually from Sting's Tuscan vineyard at Il Palagio. Highly recommended! 🍷👍😊

I was happy to receive this wine for my 22nd birthday. As the label says, it "pairs best with friends". It was pleasant with cherry and raspberries on the nose and very easy to drink and enjoy with friends.

This is day two, and I am hoping for more. Big chocolate and blackberry jam nose, where it was closed and spicy before. Very ripe, red plums and banana bread with walnut. Licorice, anise, mint-blackberry, blueberry, cinnamon apple, cedar wrapped cigar.
