Last bottle- this one had some pyrazines along the lines of a good Loire cab franc. Seems like it has many years ahead of it...great bargain for an age worthy wine.

This is nice, a little bit of nail polish and a little bit of dirtiness on the nose but only enough to add interest. A very fine core of plum and black cherry fruit with none of the heaviness of some ripasso wines. A gorgeous little value that has performed really well 8-10 years from bottling across a couple of vintages for me.

Medium to dark purple with a trend to garnet. Initially dark cherry and turpentine with cedar. With time more fruit and spice. White and black pepper on the pallet of cherry and rasin. Plenty of acid and tannins for support.

This is a dark maroon tending to purple. Weedy pepper nose, with some dust and plums peeking in. 75% Corvina, 20% Rondinella, 5% Molinara. Peppered plums, finishing mildly tart. Medium lenght.
