Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
TEDESCHI |
Deep intense purple colour. Intense, attractive, very gently smoky, faint mocha-chocolate-tinged nose with some spicy, plum-apple-cherry notes. Dry, medium to medium-full bodied, quite well structured, intense, bright, spicy, plum-cherry-apple flavours with a fairly crisp, lingering, fairly high acid finish. This tasty blend of 30% Corvina, 30% Corvinone, 30% Rondinella and 10% of four other varieties has a hefty 14% alcohol and 4 g/L residual sugar with lot number 2016 L11 on the back label. Unfortunately, this shipment is not quite up to the recommended best buy 2016 (***) with 90-points that was released on November 10, 2018 at $17.95 with lot number 2016 L5 on the back label. |
