Le Macchiole Paleo Rosso 2009
Bolgheri, Tuscany, ItalyPaleo is 100 percent cabernet franc, a variety seemingly made for Bolgheri. The ’09 Bolgheri vintage gave us a rich, hedonistic Paleo although some of that exuberance and fruit has thankfully dissipated over the last nine years, leaving a more complex wine of mixed red plums and cherries with a spicy, smoky, dried herbs undercurrent and a long, silky elegant finish. Not as complex as most years but a sheer delight to drink now. Try this with a favourite steak cut.Tasted: 17 April 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $149.99 | 750ml | private wine shops |
