  Needs some air to come together, but than the mix of sangiovese and french varieties gives a good balance between tension and elegance. I would not choose it for a solo, but with the right food it performs good.

  Consistent with previous note tho I did not pick out any licorice this time around:
  "Mulberry with reddish purple edge in color. Pungent nose of frutti di bosco, truffle and cocoa. On the palate: cherries, blueberries, cocoa, tuscan earth and a backnote of licorice. Sweet sandy tannins lead into a medium length finish of red fruit, sweet earth and an enjoyable pyrazine note. Tannins felt primarily on cheeks and gums."

  Tight, a little astringent, and somewhat one-note. But I liked it.

  A mix of Cabernet, Merlot and Sangiovese. Quite a harsh palate. There is dark cherry fruit indicating the dominance of the Sangiovese. There are hints of leather and spice. Huge unyielding structure of acidity and tannin - over done in my view as the fruit is not generous enough to cover the bones of the structure. Medium length, straightforward. Still young but not convinced this is ever going to resolve into a pleasant wine.

  Bordeaux vs Bolgheri – Outside the 1st growths (67 Pall Mall) (67 Pall Mall): Cabernet 65% Merlot 20% and Sangiovese 15%
  
  Quite intriguing on the nose - there is some coffee here but behind that sweet strawberry, red cherry, plum, perfumed talc and even a little “new pencil case”.
  Some of the concentrated red cherry Sangiovese evident on the palate, a little blueberry, cough syrup (in a good way) high acidity. Very moreish and distinctly Italian
