Score: ✧✧✧✧ |
This Morellino di Scansano Riserva shows a brilliant ruby red color and
nuances of garnet red, little transparency. The nose reveals intense,
clean, pleasing and refined aromas which start with hints of black cherry,
plum and violet followed by aromas of blueberry, black currant, vanilla,
tobacco, cocoa, mace and eucalyptus. The mouth has good correspondence to
the nose, a tannic attack and however balanced by alcohol, good body,
intense flavors, pleasing roundness. The finish is persistent with flavors
of black cherry, plum and black currant. Morellino di Scansano Riserva ages
for 12 months in barrique followed by 6 months of aging in bottle. |
