Full, with cherry, plum, raspberry and strawberry aromas, supported by spiced notes of pepper and clove. Warm, well structured and smooth, with fine tannins and a background of fruits and spices.  A big wine that best pairs with flavoured pastas or polenta with meat-based sauces or sophisticated red meats. A deliciously surprising pairing for grilled swordfish.  Selling in Malta for €10.88, I would pick this up again for a dinner for two, or to enjoy in the kitchen while I cook.
