Frescobaldi Giramonte 2006
Tuscany, ItalyAn 80/20 blend of merlot and sangiovese Giramonte is a small production, single-vineyard wine grown at Frescobaldi's Tenuta di Castiglioni estate. Love the ripe black cherry, coffee, chocolate, savoury nose flecked with cedar, meat, peppery, and barnyard, leather aromas. Rich, round, dry, supple grained tannins with balanced acidity with fine succulence. Smoky, peppery, earthy, black cherry, plum jam, espresso, cedar, tobacco, liquorice and orange peel flavours. A huge wine that is but a bambino and will need a decade or more to reach its potential. Great fruit and intensity. A wine that will outlive most buyers.Tasted: 17 May 2010Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $79.99 | 750ml | speculative - Grady Wine Marketing |
