Pale purple in the glass. The nose gives off violets, black currants, sweet oak and vanilla bean. On the palate it’s just what I expected- dark fruits, woody, fresh and tart. The acidity is delicious in this one, keeps me on my toes. The black fruit core really pushes through the mid palate. There are some barely discernible tannins that finally appear on the finish alongside some wintergreen. Refreshing is the phrase that comes to mind. The tannic bite coupled with the acidity on the finish is really a treat. 88 points, drink now till 2021 with pasta, pizza or charcuterie. 3 stars for this $14 Sangiovese/Cab/Merlot blend.
Drank this a little different this time. Opened the bottle day prior and let it breathe for a few hours then re-corked. Drank about 20 hours later. Awesome fruity bouquet which was very exciting. Very smooth in the mouth with a massive explosion of flavor on the finish.

Nice deep red fruit and color in this Tuscan that was showing much better than last bottle 6 months ago. Good QPR and have a Magnum looking forward to drinking.
