A spectacular mix of berries. Dark purple, great smells. I might give Palermo a slight edge.

Medium ruby color with medium plus tears. On the nose red fruit and earth. On the palate, cherry, strawberry, mineral soil, currant, mild stone fruit. Eminently quaffable yet also quite complex.

An nice evenly balanced wine with no one note standing out. The wine has luscious fruit on the palate that has a velvet mouth feel. The tannins show up on the finish.

Finally able to sit outside on a sunny but chilly afternoon. Pencil lead, chocolate, wet tobacco and dark fruit.
