Blend of Sangiovese (90%), Merlot (5%) and Syrah (5%). Dark ruby color with a thin garnet rim. Sour cherry on the nose with hints of black fruit, violets and baking spices. Tart and ripe black cherry/berry/raspberry fruit on the palate with notes of black pepper, chai spices and vanilla. Distinct mineral note on the long and earthy finish. Full bodied and high alcohol with noticeable tannins. High acidity keeps the wine well balanced. Nice complexity. — 10 months ago

Found it in a difficult spot. I sensed a sulphuric undertone which made me doubt if it was a flawed bottle. Next bottle will tell as the one I had 1,5 years ago was very good — 9 months ago
