A palate of black ripe fruit, earth, licorice and spice. While tuscan, this portrays qualities typical of a bordeaux - particularly the licorice notes. While it opened up after decanting, the tannic and acidic structure of this wine means that it will likely see great value in short-term aging.

Great value.

Tasted April, 2012.

I found this one extremely simple, light but lacking any complexity. At $12 would be a reasonable deal but at $17 you should expect more.
