Ruby red colored. Smoked meat & salty green olives on the nose. Medium mouthfeel, tasting strawberries and blueberries, slight peppery-ness. Dry sour cherry finish.

Vintage 2005 tasted on Feb 2015. Leafy fruit is fading, acidity is in prominence. Only good with food at this point.

キャンティらしい赤い果実と酸の伴う果実味。
カジュアルでクラシック。
飛び切りの何かがある訳ではないが、日常酒としてもってこい。

Tastes like vinegar and kombucha mixed. It tastes like something a racist would drink. Disgusting.
