An excellent Col Solare; the best yet. It has suppleness and structure, with a panoply of fruits, from cassis to slightly candied cherries... A strong core leads into a tight, confident finish.
...offers up an inviting perfume of pain grille, pencil lead, espresso, violets, black currant, and blackberry. Structured and dense on the palate, the wine has superb intensity, volume, and balance.
Slightly reduced aromas of cassis, chocolate, mocha and violet. Lush, rich and deep. A menthol element and substantial dusty tannins contribute to the impression of solid structure.
Supple and inviting, with a lively texture to the dark berry, currant, floral and spice flavors, coming together smoothly on the focused, mildly chewy finish.
