$18, 5 stars, 91 points, Italy, sangiovese, super tuscan, tuscany
Deep dark purple color with medium legs (14% ABV). The nose of this Sangiovese, Merlot and Cab Sav blend has some exotic dark fruit aromas- mulberry, boysenberry, elderberry with vanilla, coffee bean, baking spices, eucalyptus and camphor (yup). The palate is dry with medium (+) acidity and finely grained medium (+) tannins. The body is full and the flavors echo the dark berry notes I got on the nose. I’m missing the pungent camphor but I get oak influence by way of vanilla and baking spice. The wine retails for $18 and got a big score. I’m thinking 91 points and 5 stars. Tonight- it’s pasta with meatballs, sausages and meat sauce- this will pair beautifully. Drinking window till 2026. Enclosed by a glass stopper btw. Salut….
