very unhappy with this wine. the flavors were unimpressive and indistinct. muddled, insipid, and lifeless. no joy. no vibrancy. no sense.

rich dark berries on the nose. flavor is dead. burns the throat. maybe it's better with food?

seasoned two burgers; topped with melted blue cheese and spicy watercress leaves; sandwiched btwn slices of toasted sperlonga. not even food can help this wine. flavors of red raspberry make a brief appearance, then quickly turn sour. a liquid mess.
