Estimate
...notably deeper colored than the Sangiovese and has a beautiful nose of blackberries, blueberries, spice box, lead pencil, and ground herbs...medium to full-bodied richness, a silky, ethereal texture, fine tannins, and a great finish...
...rich and dense core of dark red and black fruit on the nose, with a clean, juicy expression and hints of leather and spice. Full-bodied, the wine is fresh, finessed and structured on the palate, showing a generous style that is softly tart at the moment. It ends with hints of dark bitter chocolate on the long finish.
Deep, concentrated and a bit soft in the mouth, with red cherry, licorice and flint flavors complicated by slightly medicinal notes of mint and menthol and enlivened by a hint of crushed tart cherry from the Sangiovese... Finishes primary and pure, with substantial dusty tannins and rising length.
