Extra point for value. A little tight on opening. Well balanced after 90 minutes. Dark fruit with a little rhubarb tartness. Juicy acidity. Notable mineral throughout with moderately long leathery finish.

NOSE: stone … red cherry … muted cinnamon/clove/nutmeg … not a lot going on, smells closed and thin.
TASTE: distinct bitter plum (the skin), very herbal, little tannin, good acidity. Light/medium weight juicy Italian wine with an herbal kick...clove on the finish. Simple but good! 90.
