Monday, September 15, 2014 - Battle of the Bordeaux Blends 2 (Extra Space): Tasted blind. Aired in decanter for about an hour and drank over 2+ hours.
Appeaance is clear, deep intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of soy sauce, hazelnut, earth, and red fruit. Developing.
On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium+ alcohol, fine high tannins, medium+ body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of dark cherries and sour red cherries. Initially quite tight and only opened up with more air in the decanter. Developed perfumed Indian spices on the nose. Long finish.
Very good quality. Quite obviously an Italian blend with Sangiovese. This is still young now and could develop more over the next 10 years.
90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, 5% Sangiovese.
