Tuscany, ItalyA blend of 60/40 colorino/merlot. Very spicy, peppery, pencil lead, cigar ash, cherry, plum fruit with floral, gamey notes and a hint of marzipan. Rich, round, dry and tannic but ripe. Huge mineral, black cherry, plum, spicy, peppery, licorice, and coffee pudding flavours with vanilla and tobacco on the finish. Long and complex, has lots of potential but needs 3-7 years.Tasted: 16 February 2005Tasted by: Stuart TobePrices:
