Tasted next to Antinori's 2010 Guado al Tasso. Fragrant nose, red/dark fruit, spices, floral notes. When tasting without food, almost a little austere at first, bright acidity, firm and drying tannins. A lot more mellow and balanced with food, quite sublime in fact with an excellent mutton dish. Very long and vibrant finish. Drink or keep. 93-95

Feels like a bordeaux. But like so many bordeaux, it is plagued by excessive bitterness (from the wood). Very poor qpr and not a style I still favor

Spicy, some minerals but this wine is dominated by a bitter touch originating from the heavy toasted barrels. Not the best QPR.
