This wine is a blend of 95% Sangiovese and 5% Merlot with
alcohol coming in at 14%. This wine opens up with an attractive and exotic nose cherry-plum
fruit, prune, chocolate, Asian spices, cedar and underbrush notes. On the
mouthfeel, medium-full bodied, rich and concentrated flavours of sour cherry,
cedar and savoury spices, fresh acidity and dusty tannins. Very good length on
the finish with nice savoury notes, dark fruit, cedar plus a nice tannic
grip making their presence felt till the end. A textbook Sangiovese wine with
its nice sweet and sour flavours, oak is starting to integrate with the wine and
lose some of its grip. Best in 1-2 year, a wine with lots of flavour, very
enjoyable. Score 90 points.
