90 Points | International Wine Cellar , July/August 2010

($30; 14% alcohol) Dark ruby-red. Similar on the n ose to the entry-level Chianti but deeper, with a stronger vanillin oak note and a whiff of dried herbs complementing the red cherry and plum aromas. Plush and silky but also well focused, with ripe flavors of red cherry, plum and sweet licorice. Finishes with smooth-as-silk tannins, an attractive glyceral texture, and an impression of residual sweetness. This is quite enjoyable now, and I wouldn't wait much longer to enjoy it.
