| COMMENTS: |
Purchased at Bacchus (the exact price I forgot, under P2k for sure). Sangiovese & Cab Sauv. Dark red with orange rim (I only had a lamp on, as such it was difficult to assess the color). Upon pouring, the nose was good already. Aromas of smoke, leather, tobacco, and damp leaves. As it evolved, it presented a soft meatiness and a very pleasant lavender. In the mouth, most of the aromas, esp. the lavender could be tasted, with hints of dark cherry and stone. Although it started hard, it eventually mellowed presenting a good interplay of firmness and silky tannins. The finish was long and lingering, tapering off ever so slowly. Drinking very well now, but should still get better. A great value for money wine.
