Frescobaldi Mormoreto 2004
Bordeaux Red Blends
from Tuscany, Italy
winemaker's notes:
Blend: 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot,
15% Cabernet Franc
Color: A striking purple, dense but brilliant, greets the eye
Aroma: On the nose, emphatic spice aromas, predominantly
cinnamon and clove, emerge immediately, with bright
redcurrant adding to the complexity and subtle notes of
toasty oak further enriching the broad spectrum of
aromatics.
Taste: A smooth fabric of dense tannins immediately impresses
on the palate, and as Mormoreto steadily expands, a
firm acidity nicely complements a body that is solid but
not over-powerful. Clean, well-delineated aromas are
again delightful on the finish, which is quite lengthy.
