Briefly decanted. Quite hot, but settled down (a little) with time in the glass. Woody, brambly nose with tart cherry notes. When tasting, there was more wood than fruit, leaving a strong, sweet balsamic impression. Noticeably tannic. Not my favorite Asini, but still mouthfilling and full of personality. 86-87 when poured, 89 or so by the end.

Elegant bramble nose
Tannic, structured w acid and tannin.
Sweet cherry pie flavors one dimension.

Bright cherry fruit. Very nice freshness and balance. Interesting with some depth in the mid palate and finish. Impressive.
