This wine is really singing now. The fruit has toned down a bit and the wine has lost some of its baby fat. Still lots of interesting things going on there though. Really long finish but enough acid to keep things interesting. The fruit here does not look Italian but the structure does.

May be over the hill. Very tart upon opening, got better by the 2nd glass but the fruit was subdued.

This has developed nicely. Dark fruit with coffee, coco, and tar flavors with good balance of acidity and tannin. Med - full body with decent finish.

Firm fruit, black cherry and plum. Big grip. Solid stuff with restraint in the right places and pretty good balance.
