Very dark ruby, almost black. Utterly seductive aromas of blackberry, mint, eucalyptus and incense. Offers a wonderful creamy richness of cassis-like flavor on the palate, with layers of dark berry fruit expressed with clarity and verve. Silky tannins frame the sweet, lingering finish. This property continues to be a pacesetter in the Scansano area for its elegantly fashioned wines.

Rating for Italy-Tuscany: 88 (slightly better than average year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: young, aging quickly, could be good now<br/>
