Pleasantly surprised that it has improved with age. Few years back found it somewhat disjointed with rough tannin. The tannin has now receded into the background, providing a pleasant and smooth dark fruit profile with a bit of vegetal notes in the mid palate. Starts with a touch of forest floor that dissipates with air. Good with steak.

Stunning dust, leather and moss with some cigar box and smoke. Remnants of cherry and black cherry on the palate with chewy tannins and great acidity. Lovely wine.

Purple red with medium viscosity and a lot of sediment in the glass. Heat, plum and ash on the nose. Same on the palate with off-dry, grippy tannin. Disjointed and hot. Medium finish. I think this bottle may be shot.

Even better than last bottle. Similar notes but more balanced with good acidity in mid palate and pleasant finish.

Really pleasant Rosso from Italy. I enjoyed the elegant simplicity of this wine.
