Le Bombarde Cannonau di Sardegna 2001

Sardinia, ItalyExperts agree that Cannonau came to Sardinia from Spain around the 15th Century, most tracing the variety to one called alicante or garnacha, parent of the French grenache. The 01 Bombarde is lighter in colour than its '00 predecessor but it's bigger in flavour. Tasty ripe, sweet fruit streaked with black plum, licorice, and peppery fruit mark the nose and palate. The textures are soft, round and supple with plenty of spicy, peppery, black cherry and smoke flavours. A warm region red that gets the job done at an affordable price. Good value.Tasted: 31 October 2003Tasted by: Stuart TobePrices:
