Valpolicella, Verona, Veneto, Italy
Opaque, nearly black. Smells of ancient, wet, rainy oak and stables, evoking images of antebellum England. Rain, rain, lots of rain. Must have been a very wet year. High sulphur-nitrogen nose. Medium-low viscosity. Bitter, sharp, dry taste. High alcohol content. Tinny spoiled grape aftertaste. Tastes like a few wines blended or mixed together. Not for me.

Mar 31st, 2018Wonderful lush wine. Secondary fermentation suppresses the acid making it soft, dark fruit, with a hint of chocolate raisin. Great with spicy food or a Sunday pork ragu.

Amazing end to Emily's birthday. Fresh and juicy with a touch of dried fruit sweetness.
