Delicious! I’m not usually a huge fan of the fatter, lower-acid 2018s from Tuscany but this is really well done. Classic nose features macerated dark cherry, a lightly-balsamic note, crushed minerally gravel, and dark florals. In the mouth it’s beautiful, with deep fruit and savory notes in equipoise, decent acids, and soft tannic structure. Will improve over the next 3 years or so, but delicious now.
