Good body with nice long finish. Good Italian pruniness but a little light on the bitter undertones that Italy does so well. Good for the price.

Starting to get a bit flabby - a little past its prime but rich jammy fruit with good body. Would have been great a year ago or more with more of the classic Musar "ethyl acetate" .
