Amazing chocolate, rich berries, cherry, and some cedar on the nose
Full bodied on the palate
Dense, long finish of dark berries, cedar, and savory spices
Summary:
Excellent! Nearly 10 years old, this wine is still gaining depth and presence. While it's very enjoyable now, it will reward further patience in the cellar.
I got a great deal on a case of this wine a while back at $60 a bottle. Expect to pay more like $90 if you see it today. It's one of the great super-Tuscans- arguably the first super-Tuscan. Made with Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon, it carries all the signature characteristics of the region and has endless layers on the finish.
Gather some friends or family, and raise a glass!
