Estimate
Love the dried lemon rind, florals and red fruits. Medium to full body and a solid core of fruit and spices. Long and flavorful finish. Just a hint of sweet tobacco.
Fresh, complex aromas of sweet red berries, pomegranate, sour red cherry, orange peel, violet and brown spices. Bright and juicy, with building density and multilayered flavors of sour red cherries and raspberry, complicated by a hint of peach. Finishes long and clean with strong mineral and floral nuances.
Lovely scents of violet, iris and fragrant woodland berry lead the way along with a whiff of pressed powder. The fresh silky palate doles out ripe wild cherry, lip-smacking strawberry, white pepper and a hint of pipe tobacco. Firm tannins give it an almost Brunello-like structure.
...dried cherry, laurel leaf, cola and crushed mineral...bright flash of acidity that is so distinct in all the wines of Biondi-Santi.
The fruit is dry and refreshing in style, with beautiful finesse thanks to high acid... Exceedingly lengthy – a good demonstration of what true persistence offers. Not exactly perfumed on the palate, but there is certainly an array of aromas; not floral but more elemental.
