Tenuta Luce della Vite 2003
Montalcino, Siena, Tuscany, ItalyA warm early harvest marks the black berry, black cherry, saddle leather nose flecked with smoky, vanilla aromas. Rich, round, full and obviously generous (alcohol) palate, yet it remains quite young and big throughout. Smoky, peppery, meaty, vanilla, tobacco, prune plum flavours with a bit of green herbs and olive on the finish. Solid effort for the drought year just lacks a complete palate and some finesse.Tasted: 03 November 2009Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $93.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
