Tonnino Syrah

Name: Tonnino
Variety: Syrah
Region: Sicily
Country: Italy
Year: 2013
Price: $14, on sale for $7.95
Shop/Critic/Winery Review: "An intense red color. Aromas of violet and blackcurrant enriched by hints of liquorice and black pepper. In the mouth it is full, round, slightly tannic and with a spicy note on the finish."

My impressions:
Strong nose, full of blackberry and leather notes.  Oooh, tannins.  Tingly. Dry. Leather. No fruit.  Decent finish.

Yeah, that was directly from my notes, as a stream of consciousness.  Good when I'm in the mood for a dry red. Which is often.
