Saturday, November 11, 2023 - Toscana IGT Le Macchiole Paleo rosso 2018
Beautiful intense nose mixing strawberry and chocolate.
On the palate, I was expecting something tight and very young, but the wine is already expressed well, with bright black fruit, pepper and vanilla. It’s intense but loose, silky and deep. Good balance which makes you forget the 14° to finish with a nice peppery finish. Good length which will increase over time.
Very good Cabernet Franc, warmer than its French cousins and which will improve for another 10 years to produce a beautiful bottle.
