    Col di Bacche Rovente Riserva (Red) 2021 - RecommendedTasted by Elizabeth Gabay MW & Ben Bernheim

    Semi-opaque. Restrained on the nose with some dark cherries and a hint of spice. A little more old-fashioned, with a closed structure, slightly hard texture, and a finish dominated by extracted tannins. There is some velvet richness softening things, but otherwise this just feels a little jammy and superficial, extracted and old-fashioned but without the concentration or energy of better examples of Morellino. It's nice, but that's as far as it goes.
