The 2012 ‘Grande’ is composed of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot from volcanic clay, chalk and limestone soils. It is dark and brooding with layers of aromas and flavors; including black cherry, raisin, dusty minerals, tobacco, licorice and chocolate which all come together in assertive red. This is full, velvety and polished, displaying wonderful depth and concentration. The finish is long and mouth coating, leaving you chewing your way the ripe dark fruits. Readers who enjoy Amarone should certainly give this a try. (Best 2014-2022) - June, 2014 (JD)
