Wow, the hit of a special Italian dinner party. Soft velvety tannins with lots of body and depth yet well balanced. Paired well Bolognese. Drinking very well now. I would say drinking now or within the next year would be the apex of this great bottle.

Very nice Italian Zin, especially for ten bucks. Plenty of time for cellaring if preferred but drinking well now. Lots of up front tannins. This is a big red that doesn't disappoint.
