2018 Toscana IGT "Aldone", Tuscany, Italy

Firm aroma of ripe dark berries and a hint of plums with very light fleshy tones, a touch of cedar, juniper and dried flowers. Warm, ripe, partly preserved fruit, bitter-chocolate wood aromas, fine sandy tannin and a hint of tobacco, good persistence, noticeable alcohol, a little nutty and spicy on the palate, dried floral tones, a hint of black olives, becomes tighter and juicier with air, very good finish
