Decanted 4 hours. Intense nose has unconventional scents of macerated cherry and prune brandy, camphor, almond liqueur, and spice. More traditional-tasting in the mouth. Intense dried cherry and leather, very full-bodied (15% alcohol) and quite long. Acids are a little on the low side, and there is a significant tannic presence, but not so much that it detracts. If this were lower in alcohol and higher in acids, I’d say age it a few more years, but as is, I think this is for near-term drinking.

Decanted for 90 minutes. Delicious. Prune aromas. Black cherry, tobacco, leather, and subtle violet notes. Definitely recommend

Surprised to see this on the wine list at this relatively small place near Argonne. Classic nose of an Italian wine with a little age on it - earthy coupled with hints of dried prunes. A perfect match with wild boar ragu over freshly made pasta. Like being back in Firenze with my beautiful wife...
