Clear, medium to deep ruby in color; on the nose, it's clean with pronounced primary and secondary aromas of black cherries, graphite, and vanilla; on the palate, it's dry with medium acidity, high tannins, high alcohol, full body, and pronounced intensity primary and secondary flavors of roasted tomatoes, black cardamom, and leather with a long finish. This wine is complex and intense. Overall, I rate this wine as very good.

Excellent vin bien balancé entre Merlot et Sangiovese. On sent qu’il pourrait vieillir plus. Pour 35$ un peu cher, à ce prix préférence de loin pour l’Amarone.
