The 2009 'Tancredi' opens up with bold aromas of blackberries and cherries followed by licorice, chocolate, eucalyptus and a toasty character. It boasts a full body with underlying acidity which provides balance. This blend, mainly consisting of Cabernet Sauvignon, Nero d’Avola and Tannat is approachable now, but should also drink well for another handful of years. (Best 2014-2020) - August, 2014 - (JD)
