Heavy bottle. Foreshadowing? Dark center. Hint of rust on the edge. Smells like good vinegar and very ripe berries. Cherry sauce too. Flavors are pretty smooth. It’s got a bit of tar and that cooked fruit flavor we often expect from aged stuff. Prunes? Wood. Like sawdust in there. It’s Italian via Napa fo sure. Just not too stimulating.
