Loads of under-ripened cherries and a fair amount of acid. To be expected. A little austere. Doesn't hold up to Malloredus very well. Good. Not great.

Dried cherries and super dried leather aromas. Almost thought it was corked but a little breathing time it came to life. Palate has nice structure with cherry and Turkish tobacco, acidity made for a great companion with meatballs!

Great wine, dry, very smooth. A bit too light on taste.

Tasted slightly over the hill on opening but those flavors departed with a little air. Paired excellently with meatballs and red gravy. Thin, but with deep cherry flavors and good acidity.
