Good full red. Plum, tobacco and meat on the aromatic nose. Sweet and smooth on entry, then vinous in the middle, with good extract and acidity to the flavors of dried cherry, plum and leather. Not a particularly austere style, as the firm but smooth tannins are nicely integrated.

Rating for Italy-Tuscany: 92 (slightly better than average year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: unpredictable<br/>
