Medium dark ruby garnet color. Nice nose of ripe, macerated cherries and loads of clean stoniness. Clean, fresh, and intense in the mouth. Lots of ripe, winey cherries, a light, cedary component, and loads of minerality in the very long, lively finish. fairly full-bodied, and with a decent amount of soft tannins. Very nice. Drink over the next 18 months. B+. I got this while at 2 Amy's Pizza in DC (excellent Neapolitan pizza) for $40. I would think it would retail between $15-20. Imported by daGrazia Imports, Winston-Salem, NC.
An idiosyncratic journal of wines I buy from a mix of Internet sources and retailers in the Northern Virginia/D.C. area. Mostly inexpensive and moderately-priced stuff, reflecting my frugal New England roots. Cent anni!

I really like this wine. You had it up here a few years ago.
