This wine is dark enough, that’s for sure. It is a blend of Cab, Merlot and Alicante Bouschet. No light gets through it when I hold it to the light. It smells dark, too. Cassis and tar fight for first place, while blackberry and oak spice aromas jostle from behind. The palate is stately, with a muscular elegance structured by firm tannins, flinty minerals and a lively acidity. Bring on the steaks, as big as you like.

Oak. Black fruits. Balanced spiciness and tannin. It is better to wait for more hours. Caburnio Tenuta Monteti MLT/CS 2015 @2365, Toscan JH, 231112-240121

Still quite tight, definitively needs more time, after more air the fruit started to reveal itself. Blend of Cab Sauv, Merlot and Alicante Bouschet
