Deep ruby-red. Superripe aromas of chocolate-covered raspberry, quinine and coriander. Broad, spicy and palate-staining, with strong plum and mocha flavors and impressive density. The rather suave tannins turn just a bit dry towards the back end.

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