13.5% color still quite dark. A blend of Nero di Troia and Montepulciano. Faint garrigue; plummy licorishy top notes; dark berries, plums on the palate. Rounded mouthfeel with pleasing Italianate bitterness in the finish.

Tasted after a 45 minute decant. Medium ruby with a hint of garnet rim. Slightly restrained aromas of sweet black fruit, leather, tobacco & earth. On the palate, medium bodied savoury, sour red/black cherry, leather, tobacco, well integrated oak, medium acidity, high soft tannins with a long finish to black pepper. Overall pleasant flavour & lots of life left in this wine!

Not bad at all. Give it 30 min in the decanter. Presents quite a bit like a Chianti. Cherries at the forefront, mid weight, fruit driven, but not overly so. Works very well with a Bolognese.

Felt better more mature compared to previous times still a bit more acid than I 'd like it to be. Appreciated the smooth but present tannins.

Full, warm, with vivid tannings and a pronounced tartness that definitely requires an accompanying dish to help the wine shine.
