Tasting Notes
Rich ruby with a rich garnet edge. Opens on the nose with emphatically ripe notes, pickled cherries and dried plums, plus lots of molasses, seems like a Brunello from days gone by. Blossom on the palate then rich, lots of ripe fruit, opens with hearty, grippy tannins, lots of power, delicately bitter finish.
