Color is dark purple with a light edge. Nose - lots of sweet vanilla, raspberry fruit. Some poop peeking from behind (so to speak). A little initial bitterness (maybe a bit hot?). Very fruity, but dried fruits, prunes. Definite bitter edge to this wine. Black fruit, very dark flavors - reminds of negroamaro with a touch of sweetness. I really like this, but it's definitely a sipper. Lots of flavor.
