Aromas of black fruit-blackberry, black currant, black cherry and hint of black pepper flavor. Very smooth and paired well with both red sauce and chocolate. Would never have guessed 15.1% ABV.

Cherry aroma. Very smooth and mild. No decanting needed, delicious right on opening. No oak flavors from what I can tell. Claims to have cinnamon flavors, but hard to pick that out. Had at local Italian restaurant.

Pre-Vinturi smells strong of berries. Also hints of black licorice and burnt aromas. Taste was dried fruit, spicy, and a bit nutty. Decided it was better pre-Vinturi. Wine was also better with food than on its own.
