  Deep ruby red colour. Red currants and cherries on the nose. Taste of taste of cherries and blackberries. Great wine with pizza, pasta or other Italian food.

  This was a really nice easy drinking wine, especially at the price i payed for the bottle ( on sale ) for the normal price i think it is too pricey.
  
  After 90 minutes i feel it opens up , but never giving away a lot.
  On the nose i found cherry-dryed tobacco-juniper-dusty road.
  Tha palate had first dryness-minty note-tannic. ...After 90 minutes it came with Cherry-dusty-warm note like dust road.
  
  Would i buy it again, i think yes, if it was for the price on sale 12 US Dollar..and if i was drinking wine midweek or other casual occasions.
  For the normal price which is around 15 US Dollar i think that is too high a price.

  Decent but rough around the edges with none of the Classico elegance. Very serviceable as a mid week pizza wine. Sour cherry and astringent right now, even after catching aid for over an hour.
