Achelo Cortona Syrah

Solid Syrah. Well balanced and true to the grape.

Great nose! Tart cherry, peppery, earthiness.

16/20 (90/100)

Cortona DOC Syrah 2012, 13.5%.
Bottle tasted in October 2014.
A beautiful wine by very well-known winemakers Marchesi Antinori. Syrah from Arezzo province is truly interesting: rich and enveloping nose, mature red fruits, a little spicy but very elegant.
Full-bodied in the mouth, with smooth tannins. Great body and persistence.

Italian Syrah. A little too much oak for me but overall a very good wine.

Great Syrah - notes of pepper and smoke

Velvety, but with amazingly structured body! Tastes black berries, very ripe cherries! Mmmmm... :)

So good. Lighter syrah. Very reliable. 2012

Good big Italian Syrah, all the flavors of Italy with a little spice thrown in

Dinner before the race!
