Tenuta Luce La Vite Lucente 2000
Tuscany, ItalyThe 2000 Lucente is tasty blend of 43/43/14 sangiovese/ merlot/cabernet sauvignon. Expect an intense spicy, clove, peppery, sweet vanilla, saddle leather and cherry jam nose. Warm, rich, ripe and round with dry but balanced tannins. Nice earthy, tobacco, vanilla, peppery, clove, leather flavours with black cherry and plum on the finish. Well balanced and elegant but needs 2-5 years to mature. This is the best Lucente yet.Tasted: 24 November 2003Tasted by: Stuart TobePrices:BC | $38.99 | 750ml | Specialty |
