Holy sweet Mother of Mary delectable nose packed with truffle, chocolate, oak and a nearly indescribable concentration of spice and earth. I could smell this wine forever, but you have to taste it. Ethereal on-11 levels of everything in the bouquet coupled with 300 year-old cathederal wood floors and nuns without underwear. Tannins reach from between the floorboards to grasp at anything they can in a feeble attempt to convince you this bottle is not a MEAL. At minimum, they won’t let you forget it is NOT a fat oppulent Cali. Oh you think you like Cab Franc, huh? Son, you haven’t seen SHIT.  You’ll keep reading the label, trying desperately to move this to CA or BDX, but it is Super-Tuscan all the way. This is a TRANCENDENT wine, drinking at triple the price. Reward yourself. And say your prayers.
