Slow ox 3 hours, followed by 2 hour decant, and enjoyed with traditional spaghetti with pomodoro sauce, shaved Parmesan and rolled meatballs. Ruby, clear. Hint of tar, smoke, botanicals on nose, with red fruits coming to the fore with time in the glass. Medium bodied. Dried cherry on the palate. Medium plus acidity. Tannic bite on the finish, mellowed by prolonged air and food. Elegant. Give it plenty of air at this point to show its best. Will be better with a few years of age.
