The wine is a blend of 70% Sangiovese and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon (I love the smoothness Italian Cab gives to a blend). Pouring a glass the wine was a deep Ruby red color and gave off aromas of dark berry fruits and spice. The palate shows ripe raspberry and blueberry hints, good acidity, balance and depth with fine grain tannins. The finish ended with a slight toasty spice, a touch of leather, smooth and lingering. The wine is tasting well now and has room to age.

Drinking 2007 in 2018. Ruby red color, pepper and jammy dark fruit nose. Slight hint of leather, full of tannins throughout.

Wow, so a spectacular super Tuscan with nice age. Leading toward garnet color. Medium acidity. High viscosity. Ripe red fruits some currant.
Two hour decant. Firing on all cylinders. Drippy grippy tannins. Finish is long.
94 points.
