Winery Review: Opaque black. Dark and brooding, the Riserva Le Viole is a winterwine to be consumed with braised meats and hearty stews. It's slush and big flavored, bold and rich with dense black/red fruit, black olives, and huge extract on the finish that goes on forever. Decant before serving. Aged 60 months in oakbarrels and 24 months in tank. - 92
My Review: This wine had a jammy smell to it. The taste started with a dark fruit taste but finished with a warm finish that was full of tannins. It was also more bitter than expected and needed to be decanted.
I did not have this wine with food.
