The 2013 'Settimo' Rosso opens with inviting aromatics of black cherries laced with black olive and coffee grounds all coming together beautifully in the glass. Lightly tannic, this shows a silky mouthfeel and polished texture. Minerals, black tea, black olive tapenade and coffee ground flavors continue to leave an impression on the palate. Overall, this is a solid effort, as this forward yet mineral driven wine will continue to drink well with some short-term cellaring. (Best 2017-2024) - August, 2017 (OB)
