Tasting notes

Deep red colour, very slight purple. This showed a very different fruitiness than the 99-version of this wine. Hints of cherries and earth in the nose. Slight anise and viols. This is definitely reminding me of dolcetto. Good body in the mouth. Great cherryish fruitiness and nicely balanced. Good acidity and some tannins in the back. Very good wine which also had a surprisingly high amount of wine-stone. I do not know which of the two Le Braje I enjoyed the most, but they sure did taste very differently.
