La Spinetta Pin Monferrato Rosso 2001
Color: dark and intense red. Bouquet: exotic and luxuriously textured with black plum, currant, and black cherry, smoke and spice reveal the influence of new barrique. Taste: bold and soft, perfect tannins on the palate with a healthy swathing of alcohol, allowing a long finish. Evolution: 25 years. Pairings: grilled and elaborate red meats and strong cheeses. International Wine Cellar Bright ruby. Black fruits, cherry, violet and sexy oaky tones on the nose. Bright and vinous, with strong flavors of blackberry and graphite firmed by sound acids. I might have picked this wine blind as cabernet. Chewy and broad, if not showing strong personality today. Finishes with substantial but ripe tannins and lingering notes of dark berries and violet. Score: 90. —Stephen Tanzer, November 2004.All sizes are 750mL unless otherwise noted. |
