Natalie scored this wine: 90/100

Medium ruby coloured Super Tuscan blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon, with soft medium plus tannins, medium plus acidity, medium body, dry and medium alcohol. A pronounced aroma with smoky and savoury notes, ripe dark cherry and red and black currants and vanilla. Aromas repeat on palate. Pleasant on it's own or with tomato based dishes.

Natalie scored this wine: 89/100

A delicious young Super Tuscan; blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. Wine is medium ruby, dry, medium - body, medium alcohol and medium acidity and tannin. The wine has a pronounced fruity aroma, featuring sour cherries and red fruit, particularly currants and a hint of pot-pourri. Aromas are repeated on the palate. A very pleasant wine to drink on its own; will not disappoint you.
