Sansonina – 2012 – Merlot Veronese

Red wine with a fairly dense deep ruby core, slightly lighter towards the rim, with a high viscosity and coloured legs. The nose is showing off some dry spices, some vanilla, slightly cooked fruit like stewed plum or cooked plum. The palate has medium weight, with a soft texture; not a lot of tannins to talkabout. Spicy red plum, like vanilla-infused juicy plum. A medium towards long finish. I think this is a wine that is perfectly drinkable today in a soft, rounded, juicy, and pleasant style.
