Dark notes of blackberry, cassis, espresso and violets on the nose, with just a touch of wild herbs. No doubt this is serious wine the moment you put your nose in the glass and very big for Chianti. Excellent mouthfeel- the fruit and earth glide along the palate, which exhibits firm but focused tannins. The wine has great length, with flavors that last, lingering and making you want to keep going back for more. This tremendous value is drinking wonderfully right now.

Sophisticated and intense, this is an extraordinary wine that performs beautifully both in terms of nose and mouth. The aromas are broad and all-encompassing, including blackberry, red currant, vanilla and pretty shadings of exotic spice. The mouthfeel is lively and generous and lasts a very long time.
