Castello Romitorio Il Toro 2009
Montalcino, Siena, Tuscany, ItalyA red blend of cabernet sauvignon, syrah and petit verdot that spends 14 months in French oak. The nose is floral with woodsy, forest floor notes. The attack is lean and dry with prevalent acidity, red fruits spice and balsamic notes. Youthful and tight this will need some time to unwind. Try this with a favourite aged hard cheese.Tasted: 22 December 2013Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $32.00 | 750ml | speculative listing - The Bacchus Group |
