(Basi Italia) Big brawny nose with roasted rock, berries and dry scrub plants. Some alcohol noticable. Broad shoulders and a bit sloppy in structure though it really firmed up with time. Slightly sweet tannins, dried fruit stylings. Nice acids and a perfumey quality in the sinuses. A bit of chew to it, faint edge of mocha oak but not annoying. Good finish. Overall a fairly slick style, but delivers a nice result.

Consistent with 6/14 with less oak and a little more sweetness. Still slick and totally a plastic surgery wine, but delish with pizza.
