The 2011 Sammarco displays a dark, inky color with aromas of blackberries and dark currants woven together with spices, pepper, smoke and violets all coming through beautifully on the nose. This full-bodied red shows remarkable depth and concentration with excellent underlying acidity and layers of dark fruits and exotic spices cascading onto the finish. While this Sammarco is already showing many impressive qualities at this early stage, it is still quite youthful and will ultimately require at least a few more years to mature.
