Merry Christmas

My last remnant of our trip to Italy in 2014.

This is the Riserva. The Vineyard is known for playing classical music to their vines.

Bouquet shows cedar,, violets, and cocoa. Black fruit is there, but certainly not prevalent. Flavors of stewed black cherry, earth, tar, and plum sauce. Tannins still firm, but well integrated. Obvious oak influence. I'm fine with this, but if you don't enjoy oak, it may not be your thing. Dry on the finish, which goes on for about 45 seconds.

4/22/8/4/4 +60 = 92 pts.

I enjoyed this with red wine braised short ribs, but would be even better suited for a steak alla Florentina — 3 years ago

Drinking in La Rioja Argentina. In the foothills of the Andes mountains. Tastes great. Very light, not heavy, it's local, they grow grapes and olives here. I'm eating with fish, but it hasn't come yet. — 9 years ago

Wonderful with Florentina steak. Dark fruit, dried cherry, tobacco, oak, vanilla, and a tad smoky. @ Enoteca I Terzi in Siena — 5 years ago

Beautiful wine. Has an Elegance about it. Blind I thought it was a barolo with soft tannins. So pretty and perfect with Bistecca Florentina. — 7 years ago

Opaque dark burgundy color, notes of tobacco, clove, proscuitto, porcini mushroom, and violet, very soft tannin with structured body, tastes on vanilla, raspberry, dark chocolate and espresso bean, delicate long finish with savory sweet aftertaste, delicious.
This one is great for short term drinking, paired beautifully with Bisteca Florentina. — 9 years ago
