Leather, smoke, light tobacco, juicy red fruit - lighter on palate than expected

Very tannic. Cherry, licorice, medium body, very good with a skirt steak. Not amazing but also def well made. Not certain if I would buy again but above average.

Fruit forward, medium weight, rich purple color. Some smoke, black fruit, licorice. Chewy, tannins need some time to resolve. Long finish.

Customer thought this was corked. That's fine. I will happily drink it.

Had this for our anniversary! New fave. Can’t believe I ever thought I didn’t like Italian wine. Full body, tells a story. Slightly tannic. Blackberry, clay pot. Really really good value for a low splurge.
