Illuminati Riparosso Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2003

Abruzzo, ItalyMeaty, gamey, sweaty saddle aromas with licorice and dried cherry. Rich, dry and somewhat tannic on entry with meaty, smoky, peppery, licorice, prune plum flavours. Rustic, acidic and warm; needs a roast leg of lamb or ripe cheese to soften its lean dry demeanour.Tasted: 15 July 2005Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
