Winery review: At sight the wine looks clear, brilliant, burgundy with ruby light. It gives out a persisting, strong smell with nuances from the underwood, aromatic wood, soft fruit, vanilla and preserve. At taste the wine is round and full-bodied, dry with an aromatic persistence. Time is a trustworthy friend for it: in fact, if it is properly kept in a dark, cool place, with a constant temperature, and the bottle laid down, it gets better and better as the time goes by. It tastes at its best with read and roast meats, with wildfowl and furred game as well as with mature cheese.
My review: This wine was phenomenal with a fruity nose budding with hints of ripe raspberry. It tasted sweet, like blackberries, yet spicy with both white and black pepper on the finish.
