Palate
Ripe red fruit with balsamic Mediterranean notes and a distinct mineral character. Full and structured but fresh, with fine enveloping tannins and a long finish suggesting plenty of ageing potential.

Monster Notes
Cabernet and Merlot from Bolgheri, but with 15% Sangiovese reminding you we're still in Tuscany. I like that. You get the dark fruit and structure people enjoy in Bordeaux blends, but there's a warmer Mediterranean feel to it. At S$139, this is a nice bottle for someone who normally drinks Bordeaux and wants to wander into Italy without getting lost.
