This was quite firm and classy, with distinctive red fruit and a sense of terroir. It's youth is still apparent though; needs a few more years to show that it has.

Quite aggressive tannin and acidity on top top of elegant fruits of the forest. Mid weight. Medium finish, straightforward. Still young. Wait another 5 years.

This Southern Italian Red from Campania needed 3 hours of decant to open up and reveal it's beauty. 50% Cab Sauv, 30% Aglianico, and 20% Merlot. Smooth silky tannins after the decant, med + acidity, excellent balance and finish. Complexity grabs and keeps your attention. Blackberry, leather, tobacco, cherry, underbrush.
