Winery Review:

Plenty of blackberry and chocolate character, with hints of plums. Full and very velvety with a bright and fruity finish. Always one of the best values in Tuscany.
-James Suckling

My review:
Smell - This wine smelled dark with hints of blackberry and vanilla.

Taste - \It was quite tannic with a lot of bitterness. I didn't taste any fruit, but did get a hint of coco. There was a light burn on the back end.

I tasted this on its own without food.
