92 Points - Wine Spectator The nose provokes the palate, with Indian spices, dried flowers, currant, raisin and licorice. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and lots of rich, ripe and complex fruit. Turns chewy. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best after 2011. 4,000 cases made. Appearance Purple-flecked deep ruby Bouquet Rich, ripe fruit contributes to a complex aromatic mosaic, in which blueberry, blackcurrant, dried plum, raspberry, dates, and wild berry jam are discernible, enriched by spicy nuances of green pepper, ginger, and vanilla which act as an effective foil to impressions of cocoa butter, chlorophyll, and tobacco leaf. Palate Fine-grained, silky tannins contribute to a velvety mouthfeel, while a crisp acidity drives a long-lingering, dense development. Country Italy, Region Tuscany
