Médium ruby quite light ruby garnet rim . This is pretty aromatic with lots of cedar , dried herbs , some red cherries , touch of liquorice and porcini . The palate is fine boned and elegant in style, but with enough volume of fruit to cover the bones and balanced alcohol . Herbal tinged red cherries , sage , rosemary. Refreshing acidity and slightly gritty , dry tannins . Reasonable length with slightly saline , herbal tinged finish . This is drinking well at the moment , though will continue at this level for at least a further 5-8 years . — 2 days ago

Nice Tuscan white wine from a producer we like. Perhaps some skin contact based on the color and just a hint of grip. Not too mouth filling or intense and maybe slightly one note but still nice. — 2 years ago

Very dark rubi robe, nose of blackcurrant, tarry, tobacco, cherries and a hint of flowers. Very dense and complex mouth, vivid but civilized tannins, medium bodied and long. Classically styled, no excess, top notch juice of the kind you’re left wanting for more. — 4 years ago

Fragrant with crisp dark cherry and intense iodiney minerality. Intense attack, with crisp zingy cherry and loads of acids. Puckery almost. Needs food. — a month ago

Nice radda Chianti riserva but at this point at least not worth the $45+ price point over things like Istine or Tenuta Carleone at ~half the price or Boncie il Cinque at about the same price. Maybe in several years if it evens out? Gave it 3+ hours of air. Really a wonderful nose but the fruit doesn’t express that well and the tannins are a bit muddled. Nice refreshing acid on the finish though. — a year ago

Savory and earthy, more to be revealed in time I would think. So young. From Istine’s vineyard in Gaiole. — 4 years ago

Herbaceous and mushroomy, palate a little disjointed — 7 years ago

This is other stuff compared to the Istine. But also another pricetag…big and bold, more “rustic”. Good wine! — 3 months ago
