"Deep in colour with drying, polished tannins on the palate joined by crunchy red fruits followed by black currants, prune, pine, forest floor and a slight florality - quite a powerhouse for Sangiovese. The wine is getting closer, minus the acidity and tannin, to young Nebbiolo in terms of flavour profile than to the Sangioveses of the Chanti communes." - Decanter
"Gorgeous nose! Black cherries and wet tar and fresh, homemade strawberry jam. Glossy, glistening dark-berried fruit with a lovely wild, briary flavour and a touch of bramble leafiness. Minty lift and freshness. Lovely balance. Lip-smacking finish." - Jancis Robinson
