This is a really good effort and I have been rewarded for cellaring this longer than the experts recommended. The nose is black fruit all the way with some tar notes. Continue smelling and hints of dark cherry are apparent. The taste. Surprisingly full and much bigger than expected. Mouth feel is soft. The flavor is consistent with the nose. Mostly dark fruit but the finish is so exciting. The SOUR cherries come out full force on the back end and it is such a delight. It let's the terroir speak--no tricks, no make-up, just real Italian wine. Thank you! I wish I had a case.

It is gently creamy, full, stylish, with a gentle balance of acidity. There is even some apparent bright fruit on the finish, more than the nose suggested I would find here.

Still in its youth, but drinking really well. Should keep well for several years.

It seems to be a bit closed at this stage. I remember it more open and fruity some months ago. Might be a bad bottle.
