petra riserva cabernet sauvignon-merlot (toscana)

點擊次數(shù)：1648

Robust, with meaty aromas of earth, leather and oak. Quite sweet and expressive, with pulsating dark fruit and zippy, racy acidity. Drinking this is like savoring the essence of liquid fruitcake; it’s that dense. Good now, but it should improve with a couple of years on its side.——M.S.(11/15/2003)—— 92

Hailing from the town of Suvereto in the southern Maremma, this sophomore Cabernet-Merlot blend from the same owner as Bellavista and Contadi Castaldi in Franciacorta is flat-out awesome. One whiff of the bouquet says it all: earth, currant, blackberry and coffee. The palate is equally sensational—a magic carpet ride of plum fruit, pure oak and solid but forgiving tannins. Drink and enjoy any time through 2006. ——M.S.(8/1/2002)—— 95
