Tenuta Luce La Vite Lucente 2010
Tuscany, ItalyThe 2010 Lucente is back to the more classic style. Make no mistake this is an excellent wine but you will have to cellar this for three to seven years before it hits its stride. Look for a tighter, spicier edition with smoky, meaty red fruit and leather aromas. The attack is linear with cassis, cranberry, plummy, peppery vanilla flavours. Once a second wine the latest Lucentes stand on their own as super wines. The current mix is 75/25 merlot/sangiovese aged in 55% new French oak and 5% new American oak, 40 % French oak used once.Tasted: 15 February 2013Tasted by: Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $40.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
