45 minute decant, the nose is minerals and cherry with a little spiciness added in. The palate is on the juicy side with delicate acidity and minimal tannins and flavors of cherry, cinnamon and light minerality. A thinner mouthfeel and a medium finish make this a reasonable expression of this nerello mascalase/cappucio blend.

Hot rocks, red fruit and a sprinkling of cinnamon. If there's a quibble, this bottle seems a little flat and lacking the acidity I would normally expect - but that's just nits. Delicious with burgers and gone in a hurry.

Great expression of leather here. Light red berries show through. Medium/medium. Nice vintage, time to drink now.
