Not as complex as I had hoped for based on recommendations I got; dark berries and quick finish. I hadn’t expected much tannic structure, but I did expect more then there was.

In retrospect I’m embarrassed I bought this expecting anything other than what it is. Like why would you use appassimento on a wine that already has high sugar and fruit and fuller body? You end up with candy apple and lifesaver notes and completely destroying the old world essence of this varietal. Also, I was never a fan of Luca marroni’s rating system, but this one is an outright sin. 99 points? Did you mean 99 grams of sugar?

Sickly sweet. 17g of sugar. Can't believe some individual rated this with 99 points. Pass. $17.

Beastly, maybe soap. Rich and greasy palate with ripe dark berries, candy shot with a mineral finish.

Broad ripe and fruity. On the cusp of losing structure. Delicious and was drinking. 14.95 at WH. Would get again.
