Bright ruby colored, medium bodied, full forward tangy bright plum, cherry and berry fruits with notes of kirsch, spice and tones of cedar on the long moderate tannin finish.
from Argiolas on Sardinia, this is a super wine, rich but with subtle nuances and secondary nuances. good balance and tons of complexity, every sip presents a new sensation. i will not try to describe what i got, as all perceptions of bouquet and flavor are at the end of the day totally unique and subjective, but the components are all there in measured degree. this is a super wine!

I have to go up with my rating compared to the review a year ago. It is still holding up very well. In the nose strawberry marmelade with brown sugar. A lot of indian spices. A note like pickles, too. In the mouth an additional flavor of pomgrenade. Powerful and racy wine. In the core you can feel the "sweetness" from the fruit. But don't get me wrong this wine is bone-dry. Reminiscent of Gigondas and CdPs and on a par with the top wines from there.

Holding up very well and displaying more mature red fruit. Also feel more balanced and integrated than last tasting. Good value for the patient.
