Tasting notes

Red colour with brown rim. Surprisingly young colour. Earthy and lightly aged complexity. Still quite a lot primary fruit-elements like cherries and citrus, some nuts and flowers. Medium bodied in the mouth. Lighter than expected. The fruit probably started to fade a little, but still plenty left. Fruity and earthy elements with hints of nuts. Fine acids and long acidic finish. Not much tannins. Very fine food-wine. This was very good indeed, but lacking a little in depth and complexity. Drink up now.

Deep brown-red colour. Red core, browning rim. Very complex and pretty nose. Lightly spicey with sangiovese-notes of cherries, anise and hints of old wood and dust. Fullbodied in the mouth. Loads of fruit left. Nowhere near fading. Aged fruit, very complex. Hints of old woods, cherries. Clearly old-fashioned in style. Medium to good acidity. Some tannins in the back. Good length. On top now, but will last. Great wine. Has kept very well.
