Monforte d`Alba. Lustrous mid ruby. Rich complex nose with great lift. Cherry steeped in liqueur, hints of dried fruit, sweet spice notes and with quite a bit of power underneath. With aeration, more and more pure maraschino cherry. Hugely appealing supple cherry fruit with hints of sweet fruit cake but much more complex than it sounds. Juicy finish with long super-fine tannins. This displays richness and finesse at the same time. 17.5 Points
