Could be a bit past its prime. Medium garnet colour with medium intensity liquorice aromas. Dry, medium body and tannin, high acidity and alcohol. Something of a meaty predominant flavour with a bit of stewed fruit in the background all at medium intensity leading to a medium finish. I don't know what LaStella's vintage chart was waiting for with this one as I think a few less years would have seen it rounded out nicely.

This is a good wine (well made), but maybe not aligned with my personal taste. Keep that in mind when you read the note and score. The wine is rather pale, with a garnet colour. For me it lacks intensity, depth and complexity...it's fairly simple on the nose and the palate. Unfortunately, I won't buy again. I wouldn't wait too long to enjoy this wine, I don't think it has what it takes to improve in the years to come.
