"Made from Antinori's Belvedere estate along the Tuscan coast, this blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot was aged 14 months in oak casks. The wine boasts a knock-out nose of pain grille, black currants, licorice, and sweet, jammy cherry fruit. It is concentrated and medium-bodied, with a thick, juicy, succulent personality, and copious glycerin and sweet tannin in the long finish. Although accessible, it promises to evolve . . ."
