PnVnD let air for 3hrs. Purple garnet just saturated with a garnet rim. Fig paste rhubarb raspberry coulis and sage nose. Medium weight with powdery walnut skin tannins. Taste is similar to the nose with the walnut note from the tannins. Rustic without being rough. Finish is a bit short and dry. I think it is overscored by W&S and I like the Shardana bottling a lot more. For the money I would buy the Shardana.

Fruity strawberry and red cherry nose with slight florals and some spices Fullbodied and chewy palate with good structure. Charcoal, leather, tobacco, minerality and a hint of chocolate. Warm medium length aftertaste. Quite nice.

(Cantina di Santadi Carignano del Sulcis Riserva Rocca Rubia) Very dark red violet color; intriguing, smoky, tart currant nose; ripe currant palate with good acidity; medium-plus finish

On initial pour it has a strong nose of black fruit and berries with a spice cabinet finish: cinnamon, clove, nutmeg
Color deep purple with barely lighter edges.
Tasting note of wood and spice. Medium tannic dry. Herbal finish.
After a night out, the nose became a sweeter mix of spiced strawberry and spiced cherry. It took on a spicier taste and less herbal / woody.
Revised from an 87 - 88

PnVnD let air for 2hrs. Consistent with previous note. Needs food to show at its best.

Full bodied, rustic red with dark berries, liqurice and surprisingly tight tannins.
