The 2012 Magnacosta is stunning 100% Cabernet Franc from Andrea Franchetti. This instantly bursts open with seductive aromas of black cherries and currant, followed by violet, tobacco, graphite and hints of sweet spices. This possesses a gorgeous full-body, backed by a beautifully polished tannins and a supple texture, which is highlighted by fantastic underlying acidity. It remains remarkably balanced and focused all the way through the finish where is shows excellent length. Today this is already offering so much, however it also shows the potential to age for many years to come. (Best 2016-2030) - September, 2015 (JD)
