Smoky redcurrant and cherry nose, but sharp and acidic in the mouth but some good bitter fruit, full on alcoholic finish

Was ok. A little thin, but color was a nice red. Nose was evident and slightly fruity, with a crispness. Was slightly acidic and gave a dry mouth feel on the last. Was good with pizza, but not much as a stand alone wine.

First I want to say that I am a total newbie on wine. I do not like my wine to taske sweet and this bottle is perfect for me. Really acidic and strong on the taste, its not expensive and reminded the feeling when I visited Florence! Definitely a buy!
