Maremma, Tuscany, ItalyFrom Angelo Gaja's new Tuscan estate in Bolgheri, this is a merlot, cab, sangiovese blend sporting deep colour. Lovely rich blackcherry fruit on the nose with very fine oak, coffee, leather and a funky note. Could easily be identified as Bordeaux on the nose, although sangiovese almond notes come through on the finish. Very well balanced, excellent length. Has some finesse and vibrancy. Best 2003 to 2006.Tasted: 02 February 2003Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $33.45 | 750ml |
