The velvety texture wraps nicely around black cherry

with succulent blue fruit flavors

it also has style and delicious potential

There is often a discernible minerality as well

Refined tannins coat the palate

Castello di Neive Santo Stefano Riserva, Barbaresco DOCG, Italy 2018 Muralia The velvety texture wraps nicelyA mlange of spices opens the nose of this wine: anise, nutmeg, dried rose, ambergris. As it develops, hints of reconstituted cherries emerge. Cranberry, red currant and rooibos tea notes lift off the palate with turned earth and roasted mushroom flavors on the finish shining among the gentle tannins. 91 Pts Wine Enthusiast
