Ruffino Modus 2005

Tuscany, ItalyPeppery, coffee, vanilla, gamey, saddle leather, black cherry, spicy, dried herb, black olive and warm earth aromas. Rich, round, supple entry with some grainy tannins and a touch of acidity showing. Big smoky, peppery, earthy, leather, meaty, black cherry, black olive, herbal, minty flavours. Very youthful and tight, needs a few years to integrate and soften. Terrific value thanks to a permanent price cut of some $25.Tasted: 30 June 2008Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
