Villa Arceno Cabernet Sauvignon 1999

Tuscany, ItalyCassis jam and leather with earthy, spicy peppery aromas. Ripe and round with some elegance but it is slightly hollow and acidic on the mid-palate. Chalky, mineral, coffee, cassis flavours mark its peppery, spicy finish. A lighter style cab with dry tannins on the finish. needs more time in the bottle and maybe some sangiovese.Tasted: 18 February 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
