點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：1929

This wine is based on Sangiovese, with a tiny splash of Cabernet Sauvignon, and it’s aged for 12 months in old and new oak barrels. It shows a savory side, with notes of candied fruit, prune, raisin and smoked meat. Drink now. — (4/1/2013) —88

Closed now, but the impressive depth and richness of fruit and texture are still evident. Opens with aromas of black and blueberries, touches of carob and cinnamon. Chewy, yet smooth and polished, cocoa and espresso accent the subdued very dark cherry fruit. Shows dusty tannins and a leathery note on the long finish. Cellar til 2005.——W.E.(4/1/2001)—— 90
