Another stunning performance from the 2001 Santo Stefano. Here I found a lifted and elegant nose with sweet spice, roses, dried strawberry, minerals, and dusty eartb with a hint of orange peel and leather. On the palate, it showed silky, lifted textures, in a focused and pure expression of tart cherry with hints of spice, fine tannin and zesty acidity. The finish was fresh with savory minerals, as the fruit dried slightly and fine tannin coated the senses.
