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 cherry, black currant and
plum followed by aromas of blueberry, vanilla, tobacco, cocoa, cinchona,
mace, eucalyptus and hints of rhubarb. 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,
black currant and plum. A well made wine. Bendicò ages for 14 months in
barrique.
