Tenuta Luce della Vite 1997
Montalcino, Siena, Tuscany, ItalyTasted for a second time a year after release and '97 Luce is really beginning to blossom. It's a vibrant, gracious, powerful, fifty-fifty blend of sangiovese and merlot from the Montalcino area. Look for a ripe open nose with black cherries/soya/prune and spice mixed with toasted earth and leather. Slender, dense, chiselled styling on the palate. Firm bitter chocolate flavours and tannins encase the finish. Elegant mid-weight red with all the trimmings including the dry Toscana finish. We like the wine despite the price. It needs a minimum three years of ageing.Tasted: 01 March 2000Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $93.00 | 750ml |
