Travaglini Gattinara 2003

Gattinara, Piedmont, ItalyA blend of several vineyard sites. Spicy, curry leaf, peppery, tobacco, barnyard, floral, black cherry, licorice aromas with a touch of cooked meat and saddle leather. Rich, round, slightly tannic with good acidity but young. Cherry jam, strawberry, orange peel, smoky tar, resin, curry, mineral, cumin, coffee flavours. Young and a bit dry at this point but well balanced; it needs a few years to settle down.Tasted: 10 June 2008Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
