Spinelli
Dark purple in the glass.
A rich nose, sweaty leather, earthy. The nose retreated a bit with time, becoming tangier.
Quite tangy, light to medium bodied, a fairly large bitter streak, tart cherries, an odd tomato-like note, leather, dry, somewhat sharp, almost thin at times, smoked meat.
Leather, earthy and quite tangy on the finish.
Not as good as I recall previous vintages being and not as big or rich as the nose had initially suggested. Also, not nearly as good as Spinelli's Terra D'Aligi, which sells here for $11.85. I now wish I had bought the cheaper one.
Purchased at $15.95 (Canadian).
