Tenuta di Arceno Prima Voce 2004
Tuscany, ItalyWinemaker Pierre Seillan uses the term PrimaVoce, as in the leading voice in an opera company, to describe this mini-super-Tuscan blend that mixes 85 per cent merlot with 15 per cent cabernet sauvignon. Look for a meaty, saddle leather, smoky, tobacco, cherry, earthy, black olive nose. A supple, full palate with good acidity and slightly chewy tannins. The flavours mix dried cherries, prunes and plums with spicy, floral, tobacco, smoky, mineral, leather and chocolate flavours. The finish is a bit on the earthy side but with finesse. Drink now or over the next 2-3 years.Tasted: 15 March 2009Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $34.99 | 750ml | speculative - Summit Fine Wines |
