Friday, November 25, 2011 - Italian Wine Tasting (Harrogate Fine Wine Company): -- tasted a couple pours non-blind over approx. 35 minutes --

Dark ruby color of medium depth. Nose is really nice, with the typical Strawberry licorice aroma accented by a hint of citrus (lemon?). Medium bodied. This wine has a tart red berry frame buttressed with mineral and leather. Nicely structured with ample tannins and acidity. Long leather-dominated finish of medium-light to medium intensity. 14% alc. is well-hidden. Drinks well today, but will certainly improve with time in the cellar. Gut impression score: high 80’s to low 90’s.
