Good, but not great. A bit “sour,” so I wonder if it is past its prime.

A really great super Tuscan. Spice and a bit of menthol on the nose, just beautiful. Medium body. Very well balanced. Just delish. Happy to have a couple more 13s.

This is either a Super Tuscan or a Merlot/Sangiovese blend. Hard to tell! You get obviously dry red Italian with stems and spice, combined with soft ripe fruit, and a medium+ oak influence.

Outperformed it’s price. This is better than anything in its class... it rivals wine three times the price. Slight bell pepper. Vanilla. And a bit of leather. I’m so many drinks deep I may be off my rocker.
