Interesting mix of refreshing red and black fruit, backed by a fair weight of extraction, giving notes of tar and char. Typically Italian robust structure of acidity and tannin. Persistent and straightforward. Drink over the next 5 years.

Opened to breathe. The nose presents with mineral, alcohol (16.5% wow) and some cedar or oak. Dense, port-like in intensity with sweet red fruit, more alcohol, subliminal tannins (they are there, hiding) and a short acid finish. Really interesting and accessible despite its youth, this really needs food because of its relatively high alcohol content. Tonight with a picnic dinner, gorgonzola and mortadella.
