Really interesting Sangiovese and petit Verdot blend. The petit Verdot allows this wine to be ageable. It seems close to its prime. Nice bottle nose. Garnet color from the petit Verdot. The petit Verdot also adds an astringent finish which cleans the palate. — 10 years ago
All together with deep black fruits throughout — 4 years ago
Maybe some declass Brunello in the '14? — 8 years ago

Lovely nose. Very earthy, mineral and cooling. Mid season cherries. Classic nose. As far from modern as one can get. Juicy and ripe with wonderful velvety and classy tannins and freshness. Big fruit on the palate that is succulent and super velvety then finishes fresh and mineral with the fruit pushing the minerals on the very long finish. So juicy. Polished but traditional. Like Darnaud or Allemand. Palate is so diff than nose but both great — 6 years ago

Intense red fruits, elegant use of oak and still some young grippy tannines. — 3 years ago
