Dense crimson with a tawny rim - the colour of cold black tea. Tarry dusty aromatic nuances, somewhat intoxicating in this excellent vintage. Menthol, Balsamic aromas and a note of dried meat. Fine resolved tannins. So easy to drink. Medium plus intensity. Like most Italian wines designed to accompany food but this was so good and rich you could have it on its own.
