The 2011 Bolgheri Superiore (50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc) shows a surprising level of brightness and inner energy despite the heat of the vintage. In fact, this wine was a good surprise on many levels. The bouquet is intact with a solid base of dark fruit and sideline embellishments of spice, tobacco and leather all presented in good measure. The richness of the wine builds toward a rewarding finish.

Rich and ripe, displaying plum, black cherry, mineral and spice notes. Dense and muscular, this is harmonious, lingering with hints of licorice and leather. Drink now through 2020. 2,500 cases made.??–BS??Region: Italy / Bolgheri Select to Add
