After 30 minutes Bordeaux barn aromas went away. Dark cherries, loam, cigar notes. I know! Palate soft tannins, smooth, low acidity. Dark cherries and dark chocolate. 21 years but more to go. Have 5 more bottles to see how that goes. Ok — 4 years ago

Hey! At Eataly in New York and ordered this Puglia wine. Earthy, cloves nose. Soft tannins for a 2010 wine. Low acidity. Palate to me is like dark cherry. Relaxing experience. — 2 years ago
