Frescobaldi Giramonte 2002
Tuscany, ItalyHarvested before the rains, a real achievement. Big black raspberry jam, plum, cherry fruit nose mixed with spicy, tobacco, vanilla, waxy, smoky pain grille aromas. Rich, ripe, concentrated and fat but quite supple. Very ripe black raspberry jam, spicy vanilla, black cherry kirsch, mocha, pudding flavours with some peppery, clove, candied orange rind flavours on the finish. Long, warm finish with grainy tannins. Try over the next 5-7 years. Fine effort. Improves with each vintage.Tasted: 16 February 2005Tasted by: Stuart TobePrices:BC | $79.99 | 750ml | specialty listing |
