Deep and dark, not exactly cheerful yet I would not lean to brooding. Kind of cheerfully brooding sort of red, with dark cherry flavours and savoury notes of mystery meat (I say that in the most favourable way). A wee bit of oxidative fruit on the finish leads me to suggest to drink this sooner than later....but very good Sicilian red here for sure and a fine price I should say. You know, I have never been to Sicily. I should remedy that, Tasted July 2024.
