Top Notes For

8.4

Opaque ruby of medium to full density, and very slight orange rim. Interesting aroma of savory sage and blackberry jam. Very good density of flavors, though quite linear and uninteresting. Good grip of medium tannins and primrose acidity, leading to a somewhat smokey and peppery finish. Not a bad spaghetti wine. 84 pts.
