Dark cherry, plum, a touch of prune and (like David said) a hint of marzipan. Tannin is noted but not overbearing. The oak really does not stand out to me at all.....just a really nice, balanced wine. BTW, the remaining 15% is indeed Sagrantino (according to the Goretti website). Tasted Apr 2023.
Savoury green wine with Medium acidity with some dry tannins.
Aromas of oak, fig, pomegranate, cinnamon, balsamic, brown sugar and herbs. Taste of oak, vanilla, tobacco, coffee, prune and salt.
This would be perfect with spaghetti alla puttanesca.
The note that I picked out was like a dark cherry. I think I could even describe it as cherry cola. It was nice tasting with some firm tannins. It was a nice wine for the price. However, perhaps more complexity can come out if it was stored for another year or two.
I also want to add that over two hours, this did not evolve, so I see no reason to decant.
