The palate here shows dark fruits with hot dusty stones and hints of dried meat. Not an obvious expression of syrah. Full with a wonderful juicy intensity that follows through to the finish. Drink now. Why wait?

Renieri
Re di Renieri
TOSCANA IGT
2013
A Bordeaux blend with aromas of plums, dark currants with hits of licorice and leather. The palate is full and juicy with polished tannins and a persistent walnut-like finish. A blend of merlot, cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc and petit verdot. Better in a year or two but already delicious.
