Fassati Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Salarco Riserva 1999

Siena, Tuscany, ItalySmoky, prune, cedar, licorice root nose with gamey, peppery, dried orange peel notes. It is round and warm on entry with chunky, grainy tannins. The flavours are youthful with big black cherry, peppery, prune, tobacco, licorice flavours and mocha, garrigue finish. Good effort but needs 2-4 years more to improve.Tasted: 13 August 2005Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
