Caprai "Collepiano" Sangrantino di Montefalco 1998

Red.

Fairly open nose - red licorice, toasted nuts/charcoal, leather/game. Sweeter red fruit with air.

Sweet red cherry flavor in the mouth, with substantial acid-driven chew swerving in. Really piercing flavors of mint and asphalt (indeed) that brighten, and constrict. Wild intensity in the mouth will freak out some folks. Need a crusty lamb shank, dripping fat.

Day 4 - Charcoal, leather, nuts and black cherry jam aromatics. A bit of a burnt character in the mouth. I waited too long to come back to this.
