Sometime since the previous noted bottle, and this had really come on in leaps and bounds. Excellent concentration of dark cherry fruit and balancing bitterness typical of the corvina variety. Some liquorice and charred oak in the mix. The whole in medium bodied frame but with decent length. Clearly holding up better than my original 2014 estimate - amend to 2016. Sadly my last bottle.

Well made IGT Italian in the valpolicella mold. Up front dark fruit and liquorice aromas and flavours. Medium to full bodied with fully integrated tannins and acid balance. Good value and quality everyday drinking.
