Dominated by dark fruit with plum flavor; there are some dried herbs on the palate. It’s a powerhouse with high tannin and tobacco, brewed tea leaf and vanilla.

Superb Tuscan blend. One of the best I've had in awhile. Tignanello killer for sure.

REALLY loving the Tuscans that are primarily Cab Franc. Earthy and light cherry. Dig.

Very good Tuscany wine - good equilibrium taste/arome and caudalies very well present. Supports comparisons with leading Bordeaux

Started to open up on second glass, then exploded. Very smooth with long aftertaste . Bought at an auction at 3rd corner.

Nice and tasty. More blueberry. The wine seems to be chilled so it need to warm up a bit.
