Raspberries, smoke and syrupy liquorice on the nose and more herbaceous and acidic on the palate, making this a killer food wine. Think pasta and avoid chocolate.

Quite tasty. Definitely went back for seconds though I am kind of a sucker for ripasso-style wines.

Nice but a bit heavier on the palate than I expected. Great mineral tones (soil, asphalt), young tannins, high acidity. Decant for an hour or give it 5 more years in the bottle (I had 2012 vintage) and it will be 9.0.

Decent wine...not big enough for steak. But good Italian red.
