Not quite as dark as the above. More sauvage aromas of roasted meat and coffee. Expansive and very concentrated, with sappy black cherry flavor offering great sweetness. Perhaps even deeper than the Cannubi Boschis. Wears its oak gracefully. Explosive finishing flavors of cherry and coffee.

Rating for Italy-Piedmont: 93 (slightly better than average year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: young, aging quickly, could be good now<br/>
