Vinous / Antonio Galloni - "100% carignan, from head-pruned vines that were planted during the 1950s): Light orange. Aromas of dried red berries, cherry pit, rose oil and peppery spices, with a hint of orange pith emerging with aeration. Dry and nervy on the palate, offering mineral-tinged bitter cherry and redcurrant flavors that put on weight with air. The floral quality comes back strong on the finish, which shows very good clarity and stony persistence. " - 90 - Wine.com
My Review:
The initial nose of this wine had hints of both pineapple and cherries along with a floral aspects that went well with the pineapple smells. The actual taste was bold and consisted of a mix of flowers and red berries on the first taste. I needed a second taste to understand all of the flavors in this wine. On the second taste, I got a lot more red berry flavors, more cherries and strawberries, along with tingly mouth feel.
I did not taste this wine with food.
