Notwithstanding the self-deprecating name, this one could give a few more illustrious Barolos and Barbarescos a run for their money. Opening with good varietal scents of violets, redcurrant, a touch of herb and a pinch of spice, the wine evolves into surprisingly rounded, spice-accented red-fruit flavours, finishing with a touch of dark chocolate and characteristic firm, dry tannic grip.
