萊昂內(nèi)提梅洛干紅葡萄酒

點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：9872

Surprisingly demure for a wine from the Leonetti Cellar, the nose of the 2000 Merlot Columbia Valley reveals dark berries and spices. Red currants, cherries, and raspberries can be found in its light to medium-bodied, vivacious character. Drink it over the next 6 years. Tel. (509) 525-1428

Can anything compare with the glorious Leonetti ’99? This is a fine effort, with its showy mix of red fruits, berry and pomegranate flavors dominating. Though immediately delicious, it is less meaty and muscular than the previous vintage. It’s all about sweet, forward fruit, backed with soft, pleasing tannins. ——P.G.(9/1/2002)—— 91
