Power and structure abound. Like a garden rake on the palate with bold tannins. Notes of tobacco, sour cherry, tar, and earth.

Very dark purple/black on the eye moving toward orange rim variation- looks like an old wine. Nose sees balsamic vinegar, dark, ripe, stewed cherries, oak. Palette sees more caramelized vinegar, dark, stewed overripe cherries, healthy dryness, complex finish and mouthfeel. Delicious wine, great value at €6/glass.

Vino eccezionale, ben bilanciato, cuoio, frutta sotto spirito, amarena, tabacco, pepe, vaniglia e legno ben bilanciato, forse un po' troppo perché può invecchiare molto.

Great value. Really nice structure with good fruits. Cherry and tobacco comes out immediately.
