I don't think this wine is even approachable yet. Great nose of raspberry, oak, cherry but the tannins are really tight. I opened a second bottle to be sure, and even after 4 hours of decanting the wine still wasn't good despite the great nose it has. Perhaps it is flawed, but I am putting it back in the cellar for a few years.

Rubino chiaro. Varietale e delicato, con amarena, pepe, goudron, erbe di campo e macchia mediterranea, salamoia. Bocca intensa, di discreta complessità. Tannino ancora fiero

Aroma: faint Palate: blended fruits, herbs, tar, dry, austere. Notes: the more limestone the more tannins. Tar comes out in developed wines. (Prairie Star Wine Tasting)

Tuesday Night $25-$40 Double Blind (Bin 75) : Semi-translucent, maroon core with crimson orange rim; pretty and very deep nose, roses galore, dried cherry craisins, cranberry, cinnamon, cherry oil, sandy; licorice, delicious, sweet red fruit, soft and sexy, fruit in waves, lots of depth to age well; I was in Tuscany because the tannins were almost missing completely, that along with the ripeness and sweet mouthfeel; very good.

Rubino non scurissimo. Il naso, gradevolemnte vinoso, evoca ciliegia surmatura, frutti di bosco, melograno, violetta, menta e marzapane. Bocca rispondente, gradevolmente fresca, di buona lunghezza
