Red fruit aromas. Stewed fruit - strawberries and blackberries. Medium-grained tannins. Finishes with new leather, cooked cranberries and dried orange peel. Amazingly fresh 18 years in, especially paired with cream cheese-based appetizers.

Surprisingly good. Quite fruity. Opened up very quickly. I wonder if this would be mellowed out a bit with an extra year or two in the bottle. Drank over the course of 3 hours and not too much change.

Consistent with my previous TN...this bottle has developed nicely so it is soft on the front with a very nice balance. It has a good bit of fruit but it comes across with light-medium body. Drinking quite nicely right now!!

The wine was much more California than I expected. Rather than showing primarily fruit like most Italian Primativos, theis wine showed moderate fruit and a lot of earthy spice. he wine had nice balance and had a light tannic finish

Very Italian table wine... Enjoyable, tannins were strong but faded.
