Mid garnet, purple hue; the savoury bouquet is immediately reminiscent of Tuscany with briary red fruits, sour cherry in particular, sage and thyme and a little earthy complexity adding interest; the palate is medium-bodied and fleshy on entry, with the crunchy tannin and acid of the variety providing an engaging and savoury platform to conclude; will handle a huge array of flavours, from light to full blooded.
Past Accolades and Awards:
James Halliday: 90 The deep purple-crimson colour introduces a full-bodied, but rounded and soft sangiovese with as much plum in its make-up as cherry; there also seems to be some vanillan oak in the picture, the tannins compliant.
