Mantellassi Le Sentinelle (Red)

2020

Slightly brickish, garnet edges. Semi-translucent. Lots of herbal, pine and hedgerow fruit. Beautiful silky concentration on the palate - seamlessly elegant, smoothed over and velvety. Rich, concentrated, decadent. Lots of spice. Incredibly concentrated, gutsy, weighty and intense. It's just weighty and present and majestuous - with an ethereal elegance. Tannins are rich and ripe, extracted and present but by no means excessive or green. Lasting finish with serious tannins and weight. Gorgeous wine and a step up in quality towards class and fine wine status.
