Mulberry funky earth.

Forest floor, sharp at first, mellows with time. Not much in the body, or is it overshadowed by the Sahara desert tannins on the finish? Lingering persimmon acidity.

Even more fruit and layers than the Altesino. Broad fruit, some syrah flavors and a nice dry finish. Would get again.

Interesting sounding Tuscan Red Blend (50% Syrah and 50% Petite Verdot) that was a bit of a disappointment. Wine is dominated by alcohol. Full bodied. Faint hints of ripe cherries and plums but they are well in the background. Unfortunate, as I was excited to try this wine.
