Dark ruby coloration. Medium Translucency. On the nose, cherry, cranberry, earth and leather. On the palate, medium to full body, cherry, strong, persistent and lasting minerality, carrying through a medium to long finish, with hints of leather. Strong tannins and acidity. Interesting red. Not my usual preference. $75 at B-21.

Bright, linear, elegant and restrained. Low alcohol. A pleasure with or without food.

Mature, structured and complex Nero. Great multy-layered fruit, flowers in full bloom, berries and absolutely fantastic earthyness.
