80% merlot with 10% each cab and sangiovese. Beautiful purple color, richness and depth. slighty spice and minimal jammy texture. Smooth, yet complex. A lovely production

Incredible wine. Initially decanted for 90 minutes, but not enough! After 3 hours is when the wine really started to sing and it kept improving. So much fruit and structure, this wine could easily improve for 5+ years, but enjoyable now with a long decant. I have 5 bottles left and am going to wait at least 2+ years until the next.

Dark. Fruit, balsamic notes, mediterranean herbs. Velvety tannins. Ripe with lasting adstringency. Perfect, sustainable marketing. No wheed and insect killers used says their brochure. Great mix of M, CS and Sangiovese which gives structure and power. Alcohol is perfectly integrated. No bitterness. Good wine which will please many people.

Bought a bottle at Bottega in Glendale, AZ. This is the 30th anniversary bottle! Dark burgundy. Minimal decant. Nose of Bing cherries, black olives, and warm herbs. Mouth is dark cherries, dusty chocolate powder, camphor, and the faintest hint of vanilla. Moderate, tongue-coating tannins. Early, but incredibly drinkable.

Classic bordeaux style from the heart of Chianti.
