This bottle was sooooo much better than the 2016. Killer balance. Perfectly developed flavors and nose. Giving Bdx a run for its money.

Not as much a fan of this as everyone else. Most likely needs to balance out with time. Too tight and acidic at this point imho.

Smooth, robust dark fruit with Tuscan soil balancing against any sweetness. Yum!

A lovely example of Tuscan Cabernet, with ripe flavors and aromas of black currant, black cherry, blackberry, violet, tar, crushed rock, and plum. 13.5%abv so a welcome alternative to overly extracted, high alcohol fruit bombs. Great balance of fruit, alcohol, crisp acidity and velvet tannins. Lovely now but I expect even better in a couple of years with more tertiary development.

Lovely, though very international. A bit too tart, even for me! Ripe, complex Cabernet flavors.
