Dark garnet color. Nice nose with notes of black cherry, leather, spices, dark flowers and some soil. Lots of structure and acidity in the mouth. Paired nicely with homemade pasta and sauce.

Cork in perfect condition. Nose portrays classic sour cherry yet a brooding sense of iron, dried lavender, marjoram and old saddle leather. This wine is amazingly clean and fresh in the mouth built on a drive of acid and light yet integrated tannins leaving a layered velvety finish. The acid really perpetuates this vintages personality and fine-tunes everything into a fresh and persistent personality. Flavors of dark plum and berries, orange peel, licorice, a touch of blood, seared meat and tree bark. Wowzer. In the elite of Montalcino producers, imo.

Very nice with black cherries and a bit of cedar. Had to decant many time to get it open and it just got better and better. Got from Lar’s cellar.

Really excellent. In a perfect drinking window, no decant needed but definitely good with 30 mins in the fridge. A slight touch raisined and secondary but with great medium bodied mouthfeel and excellent acid and earth on the finish. Very nice.
