Le Macchiole Bolgheri Rosso 2019, Italy
An old school classic bouquet of cherry and dried orange peel, mineral and rose, dried herb and subtle oxidation complexities. Dry, textured and chalky with firm tannins and a backbone of acidity then flavours of ripe and sour cherry, red plum and mineral. Tannins deliver the chalky firm texture accentuated by the acid line while the tart red fruit flavours accentuate the old school feel. An excellent wine that is balanced yet firm, very good for food including some cheeses. Great drinking from 2023 through 2029.
