Licorice, dark fruits and tobacco. Structured w firm tannins -- this can definitely use decanting --- improved considerably w time in the glass. Had it with pasta, but think meat would be a better match for the tannins. Could also probably use more time in the bottle.

Dried cranberry and cherry with pomegranate on the nose. Tart versions of them on the palate. Some balsamic and strawberries up in the mix. Very present tannins, seemingly med+ acid.

Nice and dry. Light to medium bodied. Makes mouth water (I believe due to acidity). Good table wine. Primarily Sangiovese.

Nov 30th, 2017Great find at Costco. Good structure, lots of ripe fruit and acid balance. Great with pasta and Ragu. Decant it for an hour and you will be pleased.
