This is good drinking for the price. Ample fruit that one expects from region and variety, but better, a thrust of real tannins that coat the side of the tongue. A bit of whole-bunch, surely. These obviate any sense of sweetness or excess. Notes of Chinotto, dark cherry, raspberry bon-bon and thyme. Drink this juicy mid weighter on the cooler side.
