Ok, where did this sucker come from? Starts off flat and dreadful and really isn't improving. High alcohol flavors, surprising considering the 14.8% alcohol, but might indicate the lack of fruit flavors. That goes along with the lack of nose....ok, that might be a good thing. Tried on night one, recorked after several hours of being decanted, tried on night number two. The men are willing to drink some of this, the women turned up their noses and ....you can guess which sex is writing the review.

Way past its time. Used for cooking and it was ok for that.

Dry to the bone, well structured and lingering tannic finish. A great example of an Italian style blend. Drinks very well now.

Color: Deep, deep red
Nose: Black cherry, some earth
