Popped and poured. The 2015 Brezza “Cannubi” pours a medium garnet with a largely transparent core and very faint stain of a tears. On the nose, the wine is intense, redolent with roses, cherries, pomegranate, damp basement, some tar and dried herbs. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the cherry fruit which again, is quite generous accompanied by licorice, and a thing hanging out way in the back that reminded me a bit of cooked spinach? It sounds worse than it is…but it’s a thing. The finish is long and savory. Pretty tasty stuff. Drink over the next 10-15 years.

Dense texture and weight. Tightly coiled fruit with volatile edge, youthful tannic grip, and a warm finish. Vibrant rose petal aromatics with fresh fall spice. Revisited over three day period. Day 3 finally showed some softening and knitting. This will really benefit from burying in your cellar for 10+ years.

Could see some age in the color right away. Showing colors of garnet, brick red and orange. This wine was moderately aromatic with notes of cherry, eucalyptus, mint and black licorice. Full bodied and a very long finish accompanied by red raspberry, spices and a hint of raisins.

Warm fruit on the nose that combines with a velvety palate of berries and licorice.. Elegant, flavorful and in a good place right now but will age..
