This was a surprisingly great wine. I have been really disappointed with most of my mid and high priced Italian wines. This wine was exceptional. Especially after 1 hour. I am not sure what grape is in this wine, but it was tarry like syrah. I really enjoyed this wine and would buy again, knowing it would need this length aging. At $29 I paid, a very good QPR.
Pretty rough. Once again an Italian wine that is unapproachable. Just too tannic. Needed to vinturi to make drinkable. Leave it for another 3-5 years and maybe it will be drinkable.

Age has definitely improved this wine. Flavors of cherry, a bit of smoke/tar, vanilla. Soft tannins. Drink up.
