Maremma, Tuscany, ItalyLook for gamey, spicy, peppery, smoky olive aromas with a touch of vanilla and plum jam. Dry and lean with tight tannins but an elegant structure. Peppery, spicy, earthy, herbal olive flavours. This will require a few years to soften the tannins but also could use a bit riper fruit character. An IGT Toscana label it blends 55 merlot/35 syrah (Maremma) and 10 sangiovese (Montalcino). Tasted: 02 March 2003Tasted by: Stuart TobePrices:BC | $44.99 | 750ml | Speculative - Maxxium Canada |
