The 2009 Sasso Bucato wraps around the palate with subtle layers of radiant dark plums, tobacco, licorice and menthol. The aromas and flavors flesh out beautifully on the mid-palate and finish. This is another impeccable, harmonious wine from Russo. Sasso Bucato is 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2017.
These are the finest wines I have ever tasted from Russo. Consulting oenologist Marinka Polencic spent three years working alongside Alberto Antonini. She is now taking Russo to even greater heights.
