Personally i found this the great surprise of the line up.
Mainly Bovale finished off with some cannonau and carignan.
9 months of new barrique which the wine digests incredibly well.
Nice fruit, but the floral that the Bovale gives to the wine truly fascinates me and keeps me interested during every sip. Spices too plus leather and tobacco.
Tannin that will get smoother, but is already enjoyable.
Long finish
Serious alternative for cabernet drinkers
It is not the Turriga, but honestly i did not remember its beauty. Very elegant

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.

Very drinkable now, but I think a couple years in the cellar will work wonders. Raspberry jam, Asian spices and chocolate.

I mean…yep, it‘s fun. But after a couple of dozen dozen Cannonau wines in my life it’s similar to a Nero d‘Avola. Good basic fruits but never deepness innthe palate.
