2009 St. Magdalener / Santa Maddalena DOC Classico, Alto Adige, Italy

Burnt notes and some coffee on the nose, light berry fruit, earthy notes and animal traces. Slightly dissolute fruit on the palate, not particularly persistent, preserved, jammy red berries, some old oak and earthy notes, integrated tannins, not particularly deep, but shows its origin, improves with aeration, pleasant to drink, good finish.

Best to drink: Bis 2011+. What our ratings mean
