Oreno 2015

Tuscany, ItalyThey scrubbed the sangiovese back in 2009 in favour of a 50/40/10 blend of merlot, cabernet sauvignon and petit verdot. The nose is seductive with rich, expressive dark fruits flecked with more inviting, savoury black liquorice. The attack is rich but juicy, keeping it fresh and moving on the palate. It's delicious stuff and it's just a baby. The finesse and the balance here is what is missed locally, and really sets this classic apart from the norm. All Tuscan. The wine spends 18 months in new French Allier barriques followed by an additional 12 months in bottle.Tasted: 22 August 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
