Tasted after a 3 hour decant. Color- royal purple. Almost opaque Nose-wet earth. Red fruit. Tobacco Palate-earth and oak. Berries. Good acidity. Pleasant tannins. Pretty easy to drink but I agree with some of the previous reviews in that any fruit on the palate is pretty scarce. That said, it’s not bad with chicken parm and the price was right. 88

I agree fully to comment: "Fruit is not present". Was thinking of a faulty bottle because the wine didn't give itself much. One half was decanted for two hours and the other half drank on the following day, no improvement. The wine should not lose its fruitiness because of age, so I don't know what's wrong with it? Dumb phase? My first and only bottle so there's no refence.

Settling down but also loosing fruit. Good food wine but not anything special.
