Expert Reviews

Stephen Tanzer's International Wine CellarBright red. Floral nuances of rose and violet complement redcurrant on the nose, with an element of sweet spices emerging with aeration. Medium-bodied, straightforward and bright, with delicately spicy red berry flavors and polished tannins. This should be enjoyed over the next three or four years. A joint venture between importer Neil Empson and Franco Bernabei, one of Italy 's best winemakers.

User Tasting Note
-
Fellow Drync'rNose is light and not remarkable. Taste bursts immediately with leather, toast, cherries, some spice, and just a hint of lemon acidity. Complex Sangiovese helped by the Merlot. Good food wine, better than on its own though enjoyable as such.
