Purple - ruby in color with a ruby rim. Nose of cherry, strawberry, and blackberry. Licorice and some pepper. Strong vanilla notes with a slightly meaty smell at the end. Very much the same on the palate. Strong vanilla indicating oak usage. Overall enjoyable, but not as complex as similarly priced barberas from Italy.

Berry aroma. Smooth on tongue with back tannins. Goes well with red sauce.

Needs to breathe. High ABV, tannins that mellow with aeration.
