Leone de Castris Salice Salentino Riserva 1999
Puglia, ItalyPeppery, sweaty game, spicy, black cherry aromas with some licorice, ginger and almond streaks. Rich, round and concentrated with quite ripe but noticeable tannins. Good intensity with spicy, licorice, black cherry, nutty, smoky prune flavours. Hearty, somewhat rustic style with lots of flavour. A good match for grilled steak or pasta with mushrooms, ham and cream.Tasted: 12 December 2002Tasted by: Stuart TobePrices:BC | $19.40 | 750ml |
