Sipping Fine Wine

Deep Ruby color with berry fruit, fragrant spice and earthy cedar notes. On the palate flavors of black cherry, plum, and cacao with notes of floral spice. Fine soft tannins, long finish ending with fruit, tobacco and cedar wrapped in an earthy herb mineral spice character. Starting to drink well now, will age.

Lush soft plum with pretty floral notes and tobacco and some soft spice. Rounded and lush.

The boys at Banfi delivered the goods on this one, perfectly extracted dried cherry with a pipe tobacco and fine tannin finish. Making big promises for the future, I’d bet they’ll come through, too. This score will rise, no doubt.
