Tasting notes
Good dark red. Aromas of dark raspberry, cherry, brown spices and cola, lifted by a floral hint. A bit chunky on the palate but not heavy, displaying a chocolatey ripeness. Dusty tannins mount on the finish, ultimately turning a bit dry. This is fresher on the nose than the Tradizione, but shows less life in the mouth.

Crimson, just beginning to open up on the rim. Medicinal, very slow to open up. Quite dense, sweet palate with unobtrusive acidity and big tannins. (WS)
