Lot #150. d'Arsac Winemaker's Collection Andrea Franchetti Cuvée No. 3 2007

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: . JR.
"[87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Cabernet Franc, 11% Merlot.] In theory anyway the proprietor of Tenuta di Trinoro in southern Tuscany and Passopisciaro in Etna drew the short straw in terms of vintages. We're told on the back label that he favours late picking and the use of small fermentation vessels. Quite an evolved mid ruby and real evidence of development on the nose even though it is not especially intense. Gentle, subtle nose with hints of warm hazelnuts. Definitely ready but in the undertow on the palate there is real excitement and vigour. It's a pleasure to taste a wine in which all the youthful elements have knit together. Most impressive finish. Good freshness but no excess acidity. A delightful wine that seems very 'happy in its own skin'. Great evidence that quality and intensity do not necessarily go hand in hand."
