Tenuta di Arceno Arcanum I 2004
Tuscany, ItalyArcanum I is cabernet franc based (75 per cent) with 25 per cent merlot. Look for a smoky, rooty, tobacco, black olive, black cherry nose with flecks of vanilla and cranberries. The entry is round and elegant but the palate is rich and full. Chocolate, coffee, black olive, tobacco leaf, peppery, cranberry, cherry, mineral, vanilla flavours with a savoury, roast beef note. It has fine acidity that will allow it to age a further three to five years to you can drink it now with roasted meats.Tasted: 15 March 2009Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $156.49 | 750ml | speculative - Summit Fine Wines |
