Medium to deep red colour with a glint of purple and a walnutty, dried herb and earthy bouquet rather than berry fruit. The wine is firm and grippy in the mouth with abundant tannin, the mid-palate full and rich and generous, balancing the significant tannins. A serious red with proper sangiovese structure and real potential. Time will build some complexity here.

...classic sour cherry aromas and flavours are a breezy start, the Italianate tannins a formidable finish. As should be the case, demands food.
