This was an interesting wine, paired perfectly with grilled burgers and drinking very well now. Really big bodied, inky, and almost syrupy. Firm structure with big blackberry, black cherry, and fig flavors. Very smooth with no bite from the tannins. Reasonable QPR for a club wine. Wish I had a few more bottles.

Decant and pour. Nose shows alcoholic heat with some black fruit, rubber stopper, and wet leaves. Black olive brine and iodine leads the palate, followed by a line of asphalt sealant and moldy fruit notes. Thick, smooth tannins with light oak and dried herbs on the finish. Needs food and a decant now - I'll age further but there wasn't much fruit in this tasting and what was there wasn't that pleasant. I'll give Biale the benefit of the doubt. 88+ points.

big dark red fruit, earth, a hint of vegetal, mahogany, tannins; nice mouth texture; a crowd pleaser
