Finally the LCBO and I agree on a rating. This is the lower offering to the amazing Luce at a third of the price. Lots of dark berry, vanilla oak and some moca/chocolate. Truly a great value for an excellent super Tuscan wine. Will get better with age, but good now and surprisingly smooth for being so young. Dig it!

Super Tuscan with Sangiovese and Merlot. Leather on the nose followed by black fruit on the taste. Medium to strong complexity on the mouth feel and finish. I'd definitely order it again.
