Illuminati Riparosso Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2001
Abruzzo, ItalyGood cherry color. Very spicy, earthy, light licorice, garrigue aromas with cherry jam and game notes. Rich, round with some dry tannins and a touch of acidity in the finish. Black cherry, smoky, earthy, spicy rootsy flavours. A bit rustic and young but good intensity. Needs food like ribs, grilled pork or pasta. Solid wine, good value.Tasted: 10 December 2002Tasted by: Stuart TobePrices:BC | $13.50 | 750ml |
