Powerful but light on its feet, this is a very angular and serious wine robed in a deep red core with ruby edges.
60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Cabernet Franc aged for 24 months in French oak barrels.
The nose reveals the Tuscan coast terroir here with scents of wild flower meadows, earth and minerality in the form or crushed rocks, with a cedar note that adds a seasoning to the black raspberry, cherry and currants. The palate reveals some serious complexity, adding some graphite to the melange of fruits and earth. The tannin are ripe and firm with a full body tempered by acidity that flows into a long, clean finish. — 9 years ago

Loved the old-fashioned funk in this one: old foudres, sweat, wool and fur, wet mossy rocks, spicy minerals, mountain meadows, fresh herbs, blood orange. Elegant, full of detail, good concentration. Fantastic! — 10 years ago

World Class! Nose: Tart blackberries. rosemary, cardamom? black currant. I would spend at least 3 minutes to figure out the nose! Taste: Tart Black Forest wild morello cherries, leather belt, Black Forest tyme yes there is a thyme which grows in the meadows of the Black Forest. Color: light. Best Pinot made in Germany.
