Big rich nose. Loads of spices and dark berry fruits. Mulberry as well and a dark earthy character. Brooding. Palate is enormously complex with awesome icing on cake texture and dazzling purity. So clean. Elegant for such a big boy. Concentrated with lovely sweet tiny berry fruit that is so explosive and fresh. Clean and ultra pure. — 6 years ago

Beautifully perfumed with spice and dried flowers and earth. Tannins have mellowed since last bottle a little over a year and a half ago, though still grippy on the sides of the mouth. — 7 years ago
Deep red color with a hint of purple. Medium legs, medium body and very balanced without any sediment. First nose of cherry with a hint of violet and spice. Easy drinking with cherry, raspberry, red fruits with a bit of earthiness and a hint of vanilla. Polished and finishes beautifully.

Sangiovese / sagrantino / montepulciano blend from hilltop vineyard, several years of tank and cask ageing but no new wood. Huge wine but somehow manages to be lively and dimensional. Dark, fleshy red and black fruits with lots of savory, herbal and floral elements — a year ago
