Score: ✧✧✧✧✭ |
This wine shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of ruby red, little
transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing, refined and
elegant aromas which start with hints of black currant, plum and black
cherry followed by aromas of blackberry, violet, vanilla, carob, licorice,
tobacco, mace, black pepper and menthol. The mouth has good correspondence
to the nose, a tannic attack and however balanced by alcohol, full body,
intense flavors. The finish is persistent with flavors of black cherry,
plum and black currant. A well made wine. Magnifico d'Istinto ages for
12-18 months in barrique followed by 3 months of aging in bottle.
