Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Founded in 1995 by a consortium of prominent Italian winemakers, including Alberto Antonini of Antinori and Antonio Morescalchi. Dark Ruby with full ripe black fruit nose. On the palate cherry and blackberry flavors with notes of pepper and herb spice. Fine tannins slightly acidic on medium length ending with spicy notes.

No hint of overripe or artificial oaky flavors. Even some hints of genuine malbec fruit. There is something unusually whole and complete about this while it remains understated.

Wine aged very well. Took 3 hours in decanter to reach a dark fruit peak. Unusual fruit to me. Not like cab or merlot. Very structured and well balanced. Malbec is blending grape to me.

Pretty basic Malbec. Not as deep and full as others. Very dry. Leather. Blackberries.

A bit unusual as Malbec is generally more bodied. Pleasant light taste very easy to drink.

Beautifully balanced. A very crisp appearance and lovely once it breathes.

2014 is a disappointment. Thin. If you can find any 2013 buy it.
