Lovely aromatic red fruit on nose with very structured but very fine tannins, fresh acidity, lovely scented red fruit and flint, great length and a perfumed spice finish.
Excellent with Italian influenced dishes.
Flori has all the tell-tale Barolo characteristics. It is a light red coloured wine with hints of orange. It has all the typical tobacco, leather and violet notes and yes, there is tannin, but it is pleasingly supported with plump fruit and a round silky texture, giving a good lengthy finish.
This old vine Grenache has concentrated dark cherry aromas with powerful savoury overtones. It has a long fruit driven palate with ripe, persistent tannins.
Earth and spice, some dusty notes form the fine-grained French oak add further interest and complexity. Briary fruit and blackcurrant notes also provide a freshness to the nose. The 2006 Reiver show more restraint than the previous vintages and will take a few months to blossom in the bottle. Flavours of dark chocolate, Satsuma plums and crushed leaves mingle with supple tannin and refreshing acidity.
