Monday, April 27, 2015 - Duemani Portfolio Tasting (Crystal Wines): Tasted during Duemani portfolio wine tasting.
Dark garnet core just a slight brick red edge showing hints of age. Lifted nose and very expressive, showing balsamic, spice, sour cherry, red berries, plum and perfume oak.
It has some rustic feel on palate, but very polished, along with subtle flavor of sour cherry, balsamic, blackcurrant and some leathery notes. Really nice sweet tannins with fine soft grip.
It seems getting ready with nice complexity but still need few more years to peak. For a wine made from young vines that planted in 2001, this is indeed very impressive with its quality. However, it does not show much of the varietal expression that I familiar with. If tasted blind I can still relate to Italy but would be hard-pressed to tell it is a Cab Franc. That said, this is a more terroir driven wine.
