Tenuta Luce La Vite Lucente 2001
Tuscany, ItalyImpressive deep Bing cherry colour. The nose is a mix of tobacco, vanilla, cedar, saddle leather and game aromas with dried cherry and prune fruit. Dry, round, elegant structure with light, fine tannins but a touch rustic. Peppery, spicy, dusty earth, vanilla, tobacco, black cherry flavours with some dark chocolate and leather. Still young, it should integrate and improve over the next few years. The blend is 45/45/10 sangiovese/merlot/cabernet.Tasted: 23 July 2004Tasted by: Stuart TobePrices:BC | $37.99 | 750ml | Specialty |
