Consistent with prior note. Good aromatics with dried red fruits and spices, but out of balance on the palate. High acidity on the attack, hollow middle, and bitterness on the finish. Drinkable, just not that enjoyable, though the nose offsets the flavors to a good extent.

My least favorite of the Negri quartet tried over the week. Meaty, earthy, spicy aromas, a bit rustic on the palate. Cherry, med tannin, med acidity, light red color. Finishes a little bitter and slightly astringent. Still, perfumed with pleasant herbal character--the nose is great even though this wasn't a complete wine. Like other Negris, no noticeable oak.
