Rich, meaty-earthy nose with spices, leather and a hint of mint. Dark fruit is the base but not prominent. #velvety mouthfeel with sophisticated tannins on a long finish. Give it an hour to open up. A great wine that would pair well with a Bolognese red sauce or a steak. #negroamaro is worth further attention. — 9 years ago

Violet flowers and dark chocolate caramel on the nose. Dry dark chocolatity/dark fruit tannins, black tea, chalky medicine, medium vanilla barrel toast and still a bit astringent. Needs another 8-10 years in the bottle. My rating jumps another 3-5 points in another 8-10 years. #velvety #potential — 9 years ago
