Nice but not fantastic. New-mown hay on the nose with the whiff of oregano. Ripe cherries on the front, but its medium tannic structure dilutes the fruit a bit. A bunch of mineral notes force their way in on the mid palate, but they fade quickly on the finish. All that remains is a slightly citrusy tang on the back of the throat. Don’t get me wrong, this wine is very drinkable, but it’s not exceptional.

Bright ruby color with garnet highlights. Aromas of ripe red and black fruit, Asian spices, wet soil, garrigue and wood ash. Flavors of cranberry, red cherries, red plums, tobacco, Earl Grey tea, dark chocolate, grilled herbs and baking spices. Long and lingering finish. Dusty tannins, firm structure and bright acidity. Lovely concentration and mouth coating texture. Bring on the grilled meat. Great choice, Keith S!

Fantastic. A southeast brunello. Immediately dark cherry, touches of plums, spice, and the acidity and tannins integrated well. As it decanted, the tannins soften drastically with the acidity slightly overpowering, but nevertheless, the fruit stayed and lingered til the end.
