Notes of dried banana, fig, eucalyptus, pine, tobacco, dried blackberries, and dry earth. An interesting, developed wine that’s hard to drink solo. Harsh, drying yet mature tannins, and unexpected acidity. But there are multiple layers—very engaging to drink. It combines rusticity and finesse at the same time. Flavours of black olives mixed with dark berries and tobacco.

Wine #3 on Tenuta Grillo by Vasyl Velykanskiy event.
