Top Notes For
Roberto Carli

The pieces are in place, from the brambly opening to the ripe dusty cherry with citrus peel and silky tannins. It just drops towards the end, really asking for a bright finish, but not quite delivering on acidity. This is a very subjective view though, though, my take on the varietal more than the execution
