Le Volte dell' Ornellaia 2012

Tuscany, ItalyIn keeping with the family way, Le Volte ages for 10 months in big brother's used Ornellaia barriques. Black cherry, dried cassis, black plum over a wave of graphite. Fresh acidity carries textured dark fruit across the palate - wild blackberry, black cherry, sweet tobacco, anise, tar, dried flowers are wrapped with sticky tannins and finish with lifted peppery spices. Drinking well now (especially with herbed pork tenderloin) but will cellar very well for another five years.Tasted: 10 July 2015Tasted by: Prices:
