  Medium garnet color. Dry, medium(+) acid, medium tannin, medium(+) body, high alcohol. Aromas and palate of red and black cherry, red and black currant, blackberry, black plum, Mediterranean herbs (rosemary, sage, anise, oregano), earth, leather, and cedar. Medium(+) intensity and medium length. Very good quality. Can drink now but has potential for aging (estimated window now through 2030). Very nice but does not seem a particularly good value for the price (in all fairness, I opened this too soon). Paired nicely with, but somewhat over-powered by, a traditional lasagna dinner.

  Purchased off the wine list at Ciccio. Dark red garnet. Reticent nose for about 45 minutes, followed by wafts of red earth, sun dried tomato, camphor, intense floral notes. With time in the glass the palate also deepened appreciably, revealing layers of slightly tart strawberry and dark cherry fruit cut with earth and leather. Significant acidity balanced chewy young tannin masked by loads of primary fruit. Long finish of chiming red sweet tangy red fruit, stony earth, and cut. Showing nicely in its primary state with all the tools needed for long evolution.
