2020 | Le Macchiole Messorio Toscana IGT | Tuscany Elderton cherry and red fruitsA nose like a private library with old books on the shelves, dried lavender and violets on the desk, and sunbeams and damp air from outside streaming through the drapes, held at bay by a smoky warmth from the hearth. The palate delivers a riot of berries and chocolate and spices, with a salty astringency at the back. Tannins and acid that start quiet, and then rise up and roar. 98 Pts Wine Enthusiast
