Intense with dark flavors of cinnamon, cloves, prunes, spices and sweet fruits. Good bottle of wine, but it is really sweet - maybe too much, maybe not? I can't really decide. I feel drawn to the deep and intense flavors, but to be honest I miss some bitterness. The taste is sweet and silky with soft tannins and with a long finish. If you're into Amarone-style wines this could be "right up your alley", but pricewise I would would rather "step up" and buy bitter amarone or step down and buy sweet Primitivo/Zinfandel

VinItaly Day 3 (Verona, Italy): 45% Corvina, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Rondinella, 5% Merlot, dried roughly 1 month; garnet core with crimson rim; more elegance and polish on the nose, leather, spice, dark fruit; larger but very light on its feet, polished softer tannin, good mid; very nice.
