Mitolo "Serpico" Cabernet Sauvignon, McLaren Vale 2003

Red.

Expansive nose - sweet herbs (almost CF-like), toasted nut and a black raspberry (!) nuance.

Round, generous and loaded in the mouth, slightly grainy. Monster mid-palate flesh, but not sweet or overdone in any way. Moderate tannin in the finish.

Opened yesterday. A portion of the grapes for this wine were dried, a la Amarone.

$50
