Very tannic even at 5 years. Fruity, but quite rough, which obscured the fruit a bit. Good with a steak, but I sure wouldn't want to sit around sipping this wine at this age; maybe a few more years would be in order? Blackberries and sour cherries on the nose, berries and earth on the tongue, good (but astringent) finish. (Edit: this was a more substantial wine than the negroamaro which I gave an 84 -- just not very novel.)

a bit weird right out of the bottle, but mellowed over a couple of days under the vacu vin.
