Tasting notes

Dark red colour with a brownin rim. Some bricking. Nose shows cedarwood, oak, cherries, tobacco and some stable. Medium bodied in the mouth. More sangiovese-like fruit than the nose. Hints of cherries, earth and oak. Fruit seems quite mature, but has not evolved a lot of complexity. High acidity and still a tight finish with some tannins. Fine length. The structure is there, but the fruit seems a bit light, so I would not age this much further.
