4* Exceptional. Rich and smooth with balanced acidity offsetting deep red fruits and plum. Fab with Tuscan style food. A personal favorite.

Rich, bordering on heavy. Blue fruit, bay leaf, cedar.

What a happy surprise the 2005 was today. Lifted and perfumed on the nose with dried cherry, floral tones and autumnal spice. Hints of moist soil and minerality came forward over time. It was silky and rich on the palate yet lifted by vibrant acidity ushering in dark red fruits. Still youthful on the finish, showing fine tannin, dried cherry, hints of wild herb and cedar.

Dusty sour cherry and cocoa nose on a beautiful dark cherry, sour plum and dark chocolate core. Long, fine tannins. One of 2 bottles was off but the "on" one more than made up for it! Not one of those super-long-term Flacc's, but quite yummy, very much a food wine.

Floral aroma, herb, dried cherry, leather, sharp tannin, slight bitterness. Body med, still many years left.

Opened 3-4 hours prior to drinking. Fruity and juicy ... able to stand-up to grilled steaks.

I reviewed this juice 3 years ago and it has continued to improve. Front cabin pure Sangiovese done in a super Tuscan style. Awesome sauce. 5*
