Decent Priorato - really looking for more of that schisty slate minerality, but it delivers on drinkability. Red & black fruited nose, some smoke & peppery, a bit feisty - palate is smooth & sumptuous, medium + body, smooth tannins w/decent structure. Loads of fruit & spice on palate, balanced w/some length on finish. For a ‘17 - only mi or bricking on edge, still youthful
