Brick orange on the rim. Herbaceous nose. With a hint of pencil eraser and Elmer's glue (no kidding). Good balance of fruit, acid and tannin. Reasonable finish. Not sure it's worth the 40 bucks I paid but I enjoyed it. Drink now.

This wine is very much in the style vein of its creator. For me, it was too much oak and drying tannins for a DOC Rosso di Montalcino. Sangiovese? Check. I missed the high tones here, as it was more black fruited than red fruited. Baby Brunello? Maybe, but I wish it had more <joie de vivre>. Drink up.

PNP initially with fine but drying, dusty talents which abated the hour course of dinner. High aromatic complexity with bright red fruits, particularly red current, as well as violet, cedar, leather and mushroom. Med+ flavor and acidity but balanced with medium, fine tanins, which smoothed over the course of drinking. Medium finish. Wine is probably at its peak for drinking, but has the acidity and tannins to continue to evolve for at least a few years. It complemented the veal milanese perfectly, which was lightly sprinkled withfresh lemon, because this delicious Rosso has bright, but not overpowering, flavors and high acidity. Wish I had more than one bottle left of this food friendly wine.

P&P, with pasta & meatballs. Dusty cherries, reasonable weight of fruit with a nice dry, gently tannic tail. Exactly what I was looking for with the food, and excellent QPR.

Close to the end of its peak. Garnet in colour; notes of sour cherry and leather; tobacco and violets. Lovely.
