Ruffino Lodola Nuova Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 2003
Tuscany, ItalyThis tasty Montepulciano is a 90/10 blend of sangiovese and canaiolo that has certainly benefited from a very warm, dry vintage. The nose is a ripe mix of black cherry jam and licorice with floral undertones. The palate is similar with more cherry chocolate mocha flavours in an atypical rich, weighty style with some peppery, licorice, gamey notes in the finish. It offers both power and elegance in an unusually warm year - a California version of Tuscany that will appeal to many New World wine consumers.Tasted: 10 May 2007Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $27.99 | 750ml | specialty listing |
