Affile, Roma, Lazio, Italy
Consumed in March 2017. Still a little young. Decanted. Huge nose. Started out fruity on the pallet, but after 1/2 hour blossomed to reveal layers of complexity: blackberry, coffee, earth, spice. Maybe even eucalyptus, but in a good way. Biggest Italian wine I think I've ever had, but still silky and balanced. The restaurant owner mentioned that he keeps all other reds at 55 degrees, but this one needed some "age" so he was storing a little closer to room temp.

Black cherry and vanilla on nose.
Dry, with the tannins slightly overshadowing the dark berry taste
Medium to low acidity
