Nice nose. LOADS of flowers coming through with some white pepper in the peripheries. Very focused not the palate with a surprising blue fruit taste showing on the palate, which was not detectable on the nose.

Excellent light summer Italian. Paired with squid ink pasta and shrimp in light grape tomato sauce.

Ripe fruit and violet nose, a medium body with notes of leather, and a gentle juicy finish.

Solid. Soft, but nice fruit on the nose, pleasant on the palate.

Losing a little nuance with a fra diavolo and no waiting to breathe ... Medium-bodied, rounded, and fruit-forward. Some forest floor hints. Slightly sharp late, but finishes clean enough. Overall needs more time or slightly lower price, but deserves another chance.

Good wine but not extraordinary; a medium tasty experience. Excellent price/quality rate
