The 2017 Korem is a sweetly scented and perfumed effort presenting notes of crushed black cherries and spicy oak front and center. Its textures are velvety and rich in feel, with polished black fruits offset by hints of bitter espresso bean and tobacco. A fine coating of tannin lingers through the youthfully structured finale, along with hints of plum, licorice and lavender. This blend of 85% Bovale, 10% Carignano and 5% Cannonau needs a year or two to resolve some of its oak, yet it has the balance to mature positively over the medium term.
