  Good acidity, solid fruit, but the wood still dominates the finish. Not sure this will ever be great.

  Two hour decant. Nose of cherries and tobacco. Medium/full bodied with some alcoholic warmth. Bright acidity but very tannic and bitter finish. Scored it for today rather than future potential. This will certainly improve but today it is not as enjoyable as I had hoped based on past vintages. Wait.

  So now that I have sampled over 100 new Italian wines I get to posting on this beauty. Aromatically it achieves cherries, some blueberry and that elusive strawberry. In mouth it is more earthy with mushroom and underbrush notes. The wine is generally tannin driven, young and alchohol heated.
