Avignonesi Desiderio (1.5 L) 1999
Bordeaux Red Blends
from Tuscany, Italy
winemaker's notes:
This super-Tuscan blend of Merlot (85%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (15%) was listed in Wine Spectators Top 100 Wines of 2002! Intense, ruby red in colour, its bouquet is delicate and persistent, with a slight scent of wild fruits. The taste is fullbodied, harmonious and round.
Serving suggestions: roast and grilled meat, game and mature cheeses.
"Big and ripe red, with loads of black licorice, tar and sultanas. Full-bodied, with big, velvety, chewy tannins. Long, ripe fruit aftertaste. A blockbuster. Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best after 2005."
