Poggio al Tesoro Sondraia 2005

Bolgheri, Tuscany, ItalyBig sappy cassis, spicy, peppery nose with lead pencil, chocolate, black olive, vanilla, rooty aromas. Rich, round, dry and supple with grainy tannins and good acidity balance. Cassis, tobacco, peppery, cherry jam, chocolate, coffee, vanilla, meaty, spicy, garrigue flavours. Lots of intensity here but needs two to five years to soften fully or try with a beef steak.Tasted: 29 September 2008Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
