Brancaia 2010 Il Blu Red (Toscana)

Country: Italy / Il Blu
Variety: Red Blend Tuscany
Winery: Brancaia / Toscana

A blend of Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, this opens with aromas of charred earth, game and a funky whiff of barnyard. The evolved palate offers dried black cherries, prune, coffee, clove, oak and licorice alongside fleeting but astringent tannins.
