Medium dark purple. Rich plummy nose. Chewy, rustic, plum bordering on prune. Pleasant enough, medium tannins, short/medium finish.

Decent wine, nothing that really jumped out or was memorable other than being enjoyable.

Consumed over 2 days, vacuvined, consistent over both. Nose: Expressive scents of black cherry and black berry with cream soda. Palate: Well balanced, good fruit up front but disappears through the mid-palate and ends with an artificial fruit sensation. Finish: The fruit reappears and this wine recovers somewhat. Overall an enjoyable wine that lacks mid-palate intensity.

Smooth, berry, chocolate, and smoke, with a long elegant finish. Lovely and nicely priced.

Very solid and drinkable wine. Goes well with creamy or carbo rich food. Yet too firm to be enjoyed by itself. Strawberry/Raspberry nose, firm attack and full mouth, taste is rich in blackcurrant, traces of cinnamon and ginger with quite some earth. Short length with stale acidic after-taste.

Very nice, dark purple/black, notes of plum, cherries, earth and vanilla oak on the nose, velvety smooth and balanced on the palate with an excellent finish - Great QPR! (90 Points).

Nice Super Tuscan wine with good fruit on the nose. On the dryer side and could use a bit longer finish but it does match well with traditional Italian dishes. Smooth and easy to drink.

A good bottle of Italian Red, very nice blend of sangiovese and Cab Sauv. Had some good body to it that also went well with Spaghetti and meatballs. Nice old world/new world aromas. Good wine, would buy again.
