This is fresher than I remember earlier years. Yes, it's a Southern wine, certainly, with sweetness from the ripe grapes, the warmth of the sun, spicy twist, but the balance is impeccable. Youngm but quite open for business. #JR&Co

Dark plum, blackberry earth and light spices on the nose initially. The longer it was open, the more it evolved towards red cherry with slightly more prominent spice notes. Between medium and full bodied (15% ABV) with bright black cherry upfront, moving to red cherry as it opens. Good depth and density through the mid-body and shows a mix of red cherry and darker red cherry to go with the brighter upfront notes. Tannins and acidity on the backside provide structure and are coming together well with the mid-body fruit. Shows good openness and balance overall. Should continue to evolve positively over the next few years. (Restaurant Sa Domu Sarda; Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy)

Sweet cherry fruit from a cast iron flask with a bit of dark chocolate swirled in - tannic rich velvety and alcoholic - nice antidote for the mistrals blowing through now in Sardegna cooling things off and turning off the vermentino spigot.

Rich and rustic. Full bodied with fine tannin supporting dark fruits, cherries, tobacco and tar.

Italy walkabout tasting, no detailed tasting notes. Quite rustic, grainy tannins.
