   This wine received a score of 95 from Decanter, which had this to say about it: "Sweet oak spice, cream, vanilla, and white chocolate notes, toast, refined tannins. Beautifully harmonious wine with lovely freshness of the finish. Clean but with rustic and earthy notes. Charming and well poised. Soft, opulent, plummy and ripe. Full-bodied with ripe tannins. Black cherry and red plums. Plush mid-palate. Ideal with spicy cuisine, and duck."

    On page 162 of Wine Folly, this is said about Sangiovese: "Sangiovese is Italy's most planted grapes and the key variety in Tuscany's renowned Chianti. It's sensitive, tasting quite different depending on where it grows. The high acidity allows Sangiovese to match well with all manner of well-spiced foods. It's one of the few wines that will not get lost when paired with tomato sauce." It should be served in a red glass at 55-60*F, decanted 30 mins, and spend 5-25 years in the cellar.

 I did not have this wine with any food. The color of this wine was a deep ruby red, with a nose of vanilla and red berries. It was slightly acidic, very tannic, not sweet with a medium alcohol heat. It had a medium body with flavors of vanilla, red grapes, oak, and apples. It left an aftertaste of harvest apples on my tongue.

In conclusion I give this wine a 6/10, I really enjoyed the 'fall vibes' and vanilla flavors in this wine.
