So the brothers announce that it is mystery wine from Annunziata. Which means its not a mystery wine, its a mystery vintage. Served blind.
Still firm on the mid plate but an amazingly complex nose that is just bursting of ripe cherries. Silky and tannin on the back, finishes with a richness and depth.
Its the 1999. And I am being told the Rocche dell'Annunziata is always like this. Silky, rich fruit, never seemingly aging or going anywhere (in a good way), meaning its timeless.
Well, its my first and only taste, and the taste was timeless. The rest of the collection? For you to know...
