Robust Tuscan red blend with pasta at Piattini in Back Bay, Boston — 6 months ago
Meaty, especially when first opened. On the nose it showed notes of tomato paste, smoked meat, and mushrooms. It was likewise quite earthy on the palate, with black fruit, red fruits singed by the sun, stones, and black pepper on the finish. It was full-bodied, and had medium + to high acid and tannins.
I would highly recommend decanting this wine as it started out quite tight when we first poured it. We also had a glass the next night, and it was MUCH better. It was richer, smoother, more polished, and less gamey, showing notes of licorice, violets, pomegranates, and even a little blood orange joining the party that had not been there the first night.
Had as a part of a pizza night.
