Colour
Plum red.
Nose
Exotic smoked cod (not anchovy) and wilted cavil nero aromas abound.
No new oak, yet captivating impressions of cedar and French oak polish.
A tapenade of sun-dried tomatoes, olives - very Sangiovese!
Palate
Savoury, with a tempting nori (seaweedy) presence.
A mouth-watering acidity courting firm yet ripe tannins … and artichoke/capsicum/caper/olive paste flavours.
A long and wide palate profile. Substantial.
