Evolved wine, showing aromas of tobacco leaves, oak bark, tamarind, carob and bergamot. Full-bodied and creamy on the palate, due to the matured tannins, with a hint of rusticity and leathery flavors, yet it displays cherry energy and crisp acidity. Still chewy in the aftertaste. Drink now.
In 2010 the estate didn't finish picking until the first days of November due to a long, slow ripening season. The vintage is known for producing wines of structure, and that's the case here, with Cepparello's bright red cherry fruit supported by plentiful tannins. It has quite a sturdy and ‘hard’ feel to it, but its gum–tingling acidity and great balance ensure that further down the road this should be a delightful wine. Drink 2023-2042.
