Weekly tasting group #018; Italy. (@ WW): Transparent red. At first lactic in the bouquet, but that disappears after a while. Then there are some cherries. Within 15 minutes the wine gives completely different impressions on the palate. At first just strange minerality, but acceptable with barnyard and some drying tannin. After a short while the wine becomes really unpleasant with tastes I cannot describe. Not anyone of the tasters thought this was a faulty bottle, but I hope so. I will score it anyway in case I come across this wine again, but I certainly will never buy it.

First tried this one on vacation in Naples. Nose has very nice earthy/gamey/peppery characters. Exceptionally smooth medium body. Lots of earthy cherries fill the palate, but the aftertaste is quite short. A great food wine, this is extremely enjoyable with southern Italian food (red sauces).

Very dark purple. Opaque. Muted black fruit nose. Medium bodied, rich black fruit. Short finish. Simple, black fruit balanced but no finish

Pas nécessairement mémorable, végétal, un peu vert, noyaux d'olives en fin de bouche mais rien de plus. Trop cher pour trop peu.
