Wednesday, August 6, 2014 - Very pale garnet color.
Nose has a healthy dose of barnyard aromas and volatile acidity on an earhty, vegetal and spicy background while there is some cherry and plummy fruit as well. So, quite complex with notes of maturity but still retaining a surprising freshness of fruit. After some time in the glass though the wine oxidizes.
Palate is medium bodied with fluid texture, imperceptible tannins, medium acidity, flavorful and with decent finish.
This wine has its moments and when you're in the mood for it, it's unbeatable. Rusticity at its best.
