Medium red garnet. Open, attractive, broad-nosed, spanning floral and red fruit aromatics, fresh and resinous herbs, in a classic sangiovese idiom. Wood is not a feature of the profile. The palate, too, shows a broad range of flavour, developing nicely from beginning to end, expanding and covering the palate. Tannins have been very well managed, fine-grained, lightly dusty, sufficiently coated with fruit extract. Balanced now, and surely balanced and more complex in five years, or hold into the late '20s for a fully mature expression.
