Dark red. Beautifully pure mineral, black plum and spicy blackberry aromas are given extra lift by delicate minty and herbal nuances. Rich yet refined on the palate, offering plenty of ripe, almost chewy black plum, blackberry, cedar, mushroom and menthol flavor. The bright acidity gives focus to the flavors and keeps the wine lively and buoyant on the long, smooth finish.

Nice, fresh, enticing aromatics waft upwards as the 2005 Giusto di Notri opens in the glass, revealing a full-bodied, supple personality imbued with an attractive warmth in its expression of blueberries, spices, mocha, minerals and toasted oak. Though a smaller-scaled Giusto di Notri in relative terms, the supple texture and caressing, generous qualities are those of a first-class wine. Giusto di Notri is primarily Cabernet Sauvignon, with some Merlot and Cabernet Franc included.

Complex aromas of black currant, mineral and dried herbs follow through to a full body, with silky, racy tannins and a long finish. Coffee and toasty oak character. Turns to raspberry jam. Needs time to mellow. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.

Definite notes of cedar on the nose. Deep, dark berry fruits on the palate. Still a little tight on the finish. A very good wine but a bit overpriced.
