Great value which bumped up the rating...for only $25, this wine has A LOT going on. Sugarplum, dark cherry, raspberry, all spice, new leather, a touch of meatiness, dusty cocoa, powdered sugar, violets, and maybe a touch of soy at the end. The tannins are surprisingly smooth and well integrated. The acids are not overwhelming. I will be buying more of this lovely Italian wine!

On the nose: blackberry, mulberry leaf, blueberry, a touch of vanilla. On the palate, excellent acidity, blackberry, mulberry, tangy and very juicy. Attenuated tannin on the juicy finish...much more evolved than my last bottle.

Poured into a wide-bottom decanter. Nose of smoke, mulberry and plum; very dark with some toasty notes. On the palate, a little less open, very dark red and black fruit, but still very juicy with nice acidity. Needs some time to expand.
