Falesco "Marciliano" Cabernet Umbria 2003

Deep purple/red.

Packed nose of high-quality toasted oak, Bordeaux herb and deep black fruit.

Initially round, packed palate, concentrated, tannic. Medicinal austerity, driven by acid-enhanced, plentiful tannins. Bound up and in need of several years of cellaring. This will be interesting to watch over the next decade.



Day 3 - Very impressive, but this lacks lift/freshness. No doubt this is a vintage characteristic. I'd drink over the next five years.
