Tenuta della Famigliæcchi Val delle Rose Poggio al Leone Riserva (Red) 2021 - OutstandingA hint of reduction hiding a fair bit of oak on the nose. Lots of black cherries. Classy and with subtly international pretensions of grandeur. Lots of fruit with a rich opulence, lots of acidity, and lots of Italianate tannins, all held together by generously ripe alcohol and a tight, disciplined structure. Spice and complexity on the finish - this is a classy wine that opts for style over fashion. Despite all that richness and decadent spice, it has a freshness and acidity that just keeps everything perfectly balanaced. A tiny hint of liquorice and eucalyptus as this opens up adds another dimension to the black and red cherries and slightly woody tannins. Moreish, delicious, traditional. Aristocratic.
