"(90% Sangiovese and 10% Canaiolo Nero and Colorino . . .): Saturated medium ruby-red. Superripe aromas of redcurrant, strawberry jelly, botanical herbs and mocha, with a slightly candied quality and a whiff of maple butter. Sweet, plush and broad, crammed with ripe red cherry, tea leaf and licorice flavors. This rich, fat, ripe wine finishes creamy-sweet, with melting tannins. Drinking beautifully now, but has the stuffing and acidity to last . . ."
