Sondraia Bolgheri Superiore Cabernet Sauvignon Blend
Entering its drinking window and showing beautifully. Only %10 Cab Franc but it really comes through on the nose.

The nose is alive and vibrantly complex with spicy boysenberries and plums, dust, decomposing leaves, cypress branches and dried pen ink. And oh, yes, polished tannins aplenty, it's got tons of structure and finesse. I'd lay this down for another decade for more.
