he intent here is obviously to capture a Super Tuscan vibe with its Bordeaux varieties taking the lead and getting a nice acid push from just a bit of Sangiovese. Dark berry fruit, sandalwood and sage ride a firm grip and medium plus oak toast through a long finish that blows out in integrated fashion. Bistecca, please.
