Lots of dried elderberries, blackberries, light sultanas and spices come to the fore of this appassimento wine, made from grapes dried after harvest. There's some serious acidity to counterbalance the lavish tapestry of exuberant blue fruit, and the firm tannins also help to draw all the components into a colorful yet organized picture. Perception of sweetness on the finish. Drink now. Score - 91. (jamessuckling.com, Nov. 7, 2019)
