2018 Tenuta Meraviglia Maestro di Cava Bolgheri Superiore

Rich black fruits framed by stern, muscular tannins and bright acidity with a dry, grippy finish.

Dense black dark red colour with a dark red hue. Intense blackcurrant and liquorice scents flood the nostrils complimented by spicy vanillin cedar, earth, tobacco, dried herb and leather notes. Rich blackcurrant, black cherry and liquorice fruits are framed by firm tannins. Leather, earth, dried herb and spicy tobacco elements play out across the back half. Stern, muscular feel with bright acidity and a dry, grippy finish.
Cellar 4-5 years.
Alc. 13.5%

Other Reviews….
A red with lots of redcurrants, fresh lemon grass and hints of vanilla on the nose and palate. Medium-bodied with integrated, creamy tannins that are fresh and bright. Needs time to soften. Better after 2024, but already delicious.
