Богатый аромат сладких чёрных ягод (тутовник, ежевика, черника), свежесодранной коры, топленного горького шоколада. В развитии перец горошком, домашняя пастила. Красиво и глубоко при обильной порции дуба. Полное тело, во вкусе сладкая малина, ежевика, корица. Сочно, ягодно, с высокой кислотностью. Туго сплетено и очень молодо. 17,5+/20

Loved this wine! Great pepper spice, earth tones and dried herbs. The quintessential Cab Franc! Great flavor with a long persistence in the mouth.

I had this wine three years ago and now it is just as, no! It is even more impressive than I remember. The color is inky red. Initially the nose is intense with wet forest and morning farm scents and evolve to plum, blackberry, pepper, with hints of vanilla. On the palate it is dry, full bodied, with medium acidity, and medium alcohol. It is unfiltered and intense with layers of complexity: starts with ripe dark berries, raisiny plum, to chocolate, dried herbs and licorice. Lots of volume (lush) with gripping tannins. Massive finish, this is the kind wine you wanna end the night with. Hundred percent Cab Franc from Tuscany, made this way, just blows my mind.

Just beautifully done. Slightly funky on the nose. Nice medium-full body, with dark fruits, well balanced, and a little Italian funk.
