Diretto questo vino, subito profumi di fruttini e bacche nere, prugna disidratata, spezia dolce / piccante.. il sorso è sincero di rusticita' composta quasi elegante , minerale di grafite e carbone..morbidezza glicerica e freschezza equilibrano il sorso mentre la trama tannica perfeziona la chiusura.
