| Review: |
". . .the wine is impressively pure and transparent on the nose, wafting from the glass in a mix of cherries, orange peel, gently autumnal soil tones, gamebird, bonfire and a gentle topnote of fresh oregano. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, complex and beautifully transparent, with a sappy core of red fruit, impressive soil signature, ripe, suave tannins and a long, complex and classy finish. There is bit of backend heat here, but this may well be the first fifteen percent octane wine that I would have absolutely no difficulty drinking several glasses of with a meal. How the Mascarellos managed this I have no idea, but color me impressed! It is still a creature of its vintage, but this is lovely wine." |
