  a dried edge to the fruit but without any sweetness, touch of musty wood and edge of spice too - not a bad nose but nothing special either; the palate is a little lacking in intensity, a tad lean but with solid acidity, gentle fine tannins throughout the palate, and a nice slightly bitter lick of tannin on the finish. Not bad, but not as good as I recall and feels a little insubstantial - certainly lacks flavours - poor vintage?

  Appearance: Bright and clear, of medium (+) intensity ruby color with paler rims and legs
  Nose: Clean, with medium intensity and developing aromas of sour red cherries, redcurrant, cedar, violet, medicinal, rustic and gamey.
  Palate: Dry, with medium acidity and medium (-) tannin which is resolved and silky. Medium in alcohol level, this wine has a medium (-) body with medium intensity flavors of red cherries, raspberry, violet, tomato and mint. The finish is medium (-) in length.
  Conclusion: Acceptable Valpolicella entry-level wine, with typically low tannin and light-bodied characters. The nose and palate are reasonably intense but fairly simple, with a fairly short length. Overall the wine is in balance. Ready to drink now and not intend for further ageing.

  Decanted for half an hour: fresh and fruity; well rounded. Better still with food and opened up more over time. Enjoyable: would buy again.

  Did not like, super fruity, sour, no acidity. No redeeming social value.
