2015 is a lush, juicy, fuller vintage. A few days (4) in an opened bottle allowed the wine to breath nicely. Nose of earth (dirt), mushroom, black pepper, a touch of vanilla and cinnamon, a dirty leather, and dark red fruit (not sweet). The mouth feel is juicy with still punchy tannins and acidity. There’s more of a tart plum with cinnamon, mushroom and that dirt quality again. Pretty solid stuff. Can definitely use age.

🍷 $40 in the restaurant for a bottle, not a bad kick for a nice Italian meal. Goes well with the heavier foods IMHO
