The nose is intense and quite ripe, releasing a burst of rich, dark fruits, balsamic tones, cedar and sweet spice from the glass. On the palate, it is densely packed with textural waves of ripe red, black fruit and spice. The finish is long and saturating to the senses. The quality here is apparent, even if in a forward style; this is a wine that could sway the lover of California Cult Cabernet over to Tuscany. (Eric Guido, Morrell Wine)

Close to perfect. Very fine tannins for a medium bodied wine. Lots of black fruit, tar and leather. Drinking beautifully now but will be a stunner 5 to 10 years from now.

Sweet blackcurrant, black cherries and spices and a bit smoky on the nose. Spicy on the palate with acidity and tannins, ripe sweet black cherries and blackcurrant. A bit of smoke at the finish.

Decanted an hour and then drank over 1.5 hours. The tannins mellowed and fruit shone. This was very good but not blockbuster

Biting tanning on open. 3 hr decant opened things up but I’d say this needs more time to really come together. Good but not a wow experience

Still super tight and needed airtime to shine. We probably drank it too fast. Good pairing with pizza
