Wow really nice. Opulent, modern but still very Tuscan with Italian genes. Aged beautifully like a ripe Bordeaux. I would like to see it go further but honestly it has a nice balance of fruit and age that I don't know can be improved upon. Might go the direction of dried / stewy fruits. Today it is pretty gorgeous actually. Very fresh and alive

Delicious layers of plums, dark cherries, leather, and baking spices. Great balance of soft acidity and smooth tannins.

Wow- big difference between the 2013 and this 2010- definitely worth the extra $$ for the 2010. Different blend includes Cab Franc.

Excellent nose of cherry with a hint of tobacco. Cherry also on the palate with spice and nutmeg. Could still age a couple of years.

Classic Italian, slightly sweet with a clean finish. Loved it with my pasta dish.
