Duemani
Altrovino Toscana IGT Merlot Cabernet Franc
I adore this wine. Elite Bordeaux blend from a Italy for not much scratch. Nose is closed but some black plum, red plum, cassis but barely peeking through. But palate is a banger. Juicy, fresh and so linear with such fine tannin! Wow this is dynamite. So fresh and precise with flavors of plum and cassis and such refinement. What a finish. This is outrageous and been open for 10 minutes. Wow. I expect the nose to really go off soon. Now the nose after 4 hours is smokey, with sweet incense and pure black plum. Terrific high quality subtle sweet oak and tons of earthy notes. So complex and unique. Ethereal and subtle. Concentrated and refined but has a bit of Tuscan grittiness that just adds to the allure. Long with an earthy sweetness on the finish. Exceptional and classy and just so Tuscan. The finish lingers for so long and there is a creamy opulence that develops after 4 hours. The balance between the Cab Franc and Merlot is terrific. This is Tuscan St. Emilion.
