Notes | |||
"Deep ruby red. Recalls plums and red cherries on the nose, followed by balsamic and salty notes on a background of ripe licorice. With eloquent and clean tannins in the mouth, it comes across as full and vigorous, with a long and intense finish." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"This is a top-end montepulciano with lovely, sweet blackberries and flowers on the nose. Only medium-bodied, but a tight package of fresh fruit with lightly firm but well-integrated tannins and a clean fruit and mineral finish. Drink or hold." —James Suckling |
