Robust red with plenty of delicious fruit: blackberries, blueberries, wild berries along with some pepper. Velvet textured with fabulous tannins. Paternoster says it is ethereal; why not?

It’s unexpectedly soft and pliant on the palate with creamy waves of textural black fruits, yet beneath it all, a web of fine tannins slowly builds. Wood tones, liquid-dried florals and a potent staining of primary concentration are left to linger through the long finale, as the Don Anselmo displays its hulking structure.
