“Ruby purple. Rich aromas of cassis, black cherry, chocolate, vanilla and minerals, complemented by sexy oak. Then rich without showing any undue weight on the palate, with real vinosity and intensity to the plum, vanilla and chocolate flavors. Offers real palate presence without thickness of texture and finishes vibrant and lively, with a lingering sweetness. This also has the finest-grained tannins of any young Poggio ai Merli I can remember.”
