Dark garnet color. Aromas and flavors of red cherry, fennel and star anise, rose, leather, and wisps of barn yard, and bitter cocoa with a satiny, crisp, dry medium body and a tingling, delightful, medium-length finish that exhibits notes of strawberry cherry fruit leather, star anise, fig, and tobacco. A wine that makes you want to order an extra course and linger on the piazza in Sienna watching the horses.
