Tasting Notes
The nose is shy at first but more air slowly reveals notes of spiced cherry. Both sweet and Morello cherry feature in this complex fruit, spiced with a touch of tobacco and cinnamon and a notion of polished mahogany. The palate has firm, taut but very fine tannins that are still a little drying, standing it in good stead for the future. There is ample freshness and a real concentration of fine, pure, aromatic cherry notions. An arch-Italian wine made for ageing. Very elegant and with a lasting finish.
