Dark ruby, medium garnet rim. Clean nose of medium intensity, Merlot plummy fruityness with Sangiovese cherries, tea & slight herbal nature. Medium - body, very juicy feel, medium + acidity, smooth integrated tannins. Palate flavours mirrors nose aromas. Rich fruit & good balance. Very good.

Harsh initially, almost undrinkable. After 15min it settled down a bit. Very peppery, some dry bitterness not reminds me of sucking on a used black tea bag. One thing I do like is a hint of pipe tobacco. Don't think I'll buy again.
