Always very firm in its youth it’s finally drinking well right now with fruit, nicely developed round tannins and underlined acidity that’s there but doesn’t stand out (wouldn’t peg this as Italian in a blind tasting and probably not old world). — 7 years ago
Intermédiaire entre un Bordeaux et un grand Corbières , un boisé discret et une grande ossature. Grande bouteille — 11 years ago
Un Bordeaux… tout Italien…
Cassis, cerises noires… légèrement terreux… sublime!
À redécouvrir lorsqu’il aura pris de l’âge…

An elegant bouquet of dried violets, blackcurrant, and tobacco, with hints of cedar and earth. The palate is rich yet polished, with some fresh cherry notes still lingering around. The tannins have softened into a velvety texture. Subtle spice and leather emerge on the long, harmonious finish.
Don’t get to drink well aged Super Tuscan often. This is a beautiful expression of Cab Franc led blends at its peak. — 9 months ago

Not as good as the '21. This year offers 40% Merlot, 32% Cab Franc, 23% Cab Sauv and 5% Petite Verdot. IGT. Olive tamponade, a bit dusty and cedar opener. Full mouthfeel and very drinkable now, but this might benefit from a time out for a while. — 23 days ago
