The 2014 Carmignano Riserva reveals a dark profile that is based on black fruit and smoky spice. In that tug-of-war between sweet and savory, this wine moves closer to the savory side of the spectrum. There is a lot of moist tobacco, cured meat and crushed clove on display. These aromas are a bit heavy-footed and overpowering especially in this less fruit-driven vintage.
