Web: http://www.casanovadineri.it/Chubby Appreciation: 94/100
Critics' Opinion: WA - 96/100, JS - 96/100, CT - 92/100
Appearance: Bright
deep red.
Aroma:
Excellent nose of cherry and dried fruits. Saline. Rosemary. A bit of
earth.
Palate: Bright acid
with indicated red cherry and raspberry. Layers of spices. Rather full texture
but fine tannins. Some of mineral. Velvety and long lasting.
Not as big and the Tenuta Nuova range but consist of
elegance and finesse instead. Beautiful, vibrant, and lingering. Not so modern
but still somewhat in between. Oak, yes a bit. Chocolate, umm....traceable. A
few years more and it may be at its drinking window range. Not a bad idea at all
to stock up this beauty. Sante!!!
