Frescobaldi Mormoreto Tuscany, Italy

Mormoreto 2010 appears near-opaque ruby, then opens to a fruit-rich nose laden with sweet dark cherry and raspberry, followed by fragrant impressions of almond and mint, and with a tasty edge of sea salt; elegantly threaded into this aromatic complex are notes of truffles, black liquorice and ginger. Nuances of chocolate and tar. Ultra-dense mouthfeel and velvety texture, with a majestic suite of tannins that receive superb support from a full-bodied, spacious structure.
