Dark wine. Spicy, fruity, oaky nose with a touch of volatility.
I liked this; Lot's a flavour, nice tannin, if a bit rustic. Medium, to full body. Very Italian; fruity, herbal, some rough edges.
Perhaps not a sipper but good wine to cut through rich food; This was actually quite perfect with a platter of prosciutto, Italian cave cheese, olives, pears and honey.
