  Wonderful development on the nose opening up with caramel oak, morello cherries and some liquorice. Sweetness on the palate with jammy red berries and some dried herbs still showing some austere tannins on the finish.

  Still young. Better at cellar temperature or somewhere below room temperature. Tannins are not harsh. Healthy acidity that works so well with food. Drink or hold.

  (Decanted for one and a half hour)
  Deep red colour with a pleasant nose showing violets, warm fruity note combined with some wood, fresh herbs and forest floor in a nice and pleasant way. Tannins still showing on the palate with an intense fruity sweetness and a lengthy finish showing some herbs. Nice and pleasant, and should reward a few more extra years of cellaring.

  A somewhat bland Italian red, very mellow flavor

  Not showy or obvious, but subtle and nuanced. Herbs, silky texture, delicious. Can’t remember cost, but has to be worth it.
