Spinelli

Dark purple in the glass.

Vanilla, spicy, black licorice, smoky, black cherry on the nose.

Medium weight, tomato, cherry, spicy, smoky, earthy, good bitter streak, roasted notes, full, tangy acididty, rather charred.

The wine quickly lost its initial plushness and became quite lean, tart and tangy.

Bitter, drying on the finish.

Not nice.

Screwcap closure.

Purchased at $11.95 (Canadian).
