Estimate
The aromatics tend towards menthol, pine, spices and all things balsamic. Sweet, powerful and layered, the 2006 Cicala finishes with a blast of roasted coffee beans, licorice and mint. This is an absolutely wonderful.
A beautiful red, balancing its sweet cherry, berry, floral and spice flavors effortlessly with the vibrant, firmly structured frame. This remains elegant through the long rose- and strawberry-infused aftertaste. Terrific harmony.
Reticent, musky aromas of black cherry, game, tar and licorice; sweet but youthfully closed. ...showing a wilder quality and less early sweetness of fruit. Serious tannins currently give the finish a toughness.
Richer in limestone. Complex nose. Dry and dense. But actually more intense and more luscious. Very exciting. Youthful too...Precise.
