Nose is quite alluring with nice mix of berry and cherry, cassis, anise, vanilla, and violet. Palate is a bit more jammy than the nose suggested, but has enough bright acidity to give it a lift. Supple, and just a bit off-dry. Soft tannins.
Really nice, but a bit underwhelmed.

Nose of tobacco, cherries, leather. Fairly full bodied for an Italian wine. Fairly high amount of tannins, short finish.

Less tannic than I was expecting for a 2015, this is drinking well. Quiet nose of sour cherries, plum, leather, wet leaves and earth. Med bodied and acidic in the mouth with subtle fruit and earth flavors. Opened up more on day two but not as much as I’d hoped. Had with home-made reubens in the cast iron skillet. This was unmistakably Italian despite being mostly Merlot and Syrah, and needed food to be enjoyed. Decent bottle.

Excited to try this IGT from Gaja, very@light weight with tons of acidity, very juicy, needs some rounding out, softening of the edges, fine with our Osso Bucco.
