Zach says, “Brick red in the glass. 

Fascinating, complex nose. At first I get notes of saffron, then spanish moss/earth, cherry, and smoke.

Subtle red fruit, bright olive, and mocha on the palate.

Balanced, moderate acidity. 

Medium bodied. 

Moderately tannic.

Long, earthy finish. 

At first I was underwhelmed, but with some time in the glass I was hit by nuance and the uniquely Italian acidity I love so much.

9/10.”

Lauren says, “Deep ruby. Aroma of red cherry licorice, fennel, and cocoa powder. High acidity. Medium tannins. Medium body. Needed some time to open up. Flavor has a lot of cherry with slight earth & mint. 8/10 but changed 8.5/10 after an hour.”
