An excellent wine for the money - buy again! Brown in color when pouring in glass, but not old in bouquet and taste. Complex taste with many nuances. So pleasant wine, ready to drink now in perfect balance. Bought in Umbria at "the old man" where he baptised our kids in wine behind their ears - an event to remember :-)

Long taste, I liked the finish at first. Too tanic to be excellent though. First touch to the tongue, always hot and bland. All in all, good. Paid $20US, probably too much.

Nose of cherries and spices (nut meg, pepper, cloves). Full bodied, with tannins slightly agressive. Long and warm finish of cherries. Slightly astringent and with a bitter aftertaste. Excellent value for money; paid less than 7€ in the Umbria area.
