Lot #1374. Ruffino Cabreo Il Borgo 1988

Description: Consists of 1 Magnum, 1.5L
Region: Italy, Tuscany.
Score: 95 DC.
Ochre . . . . it still seems to have a long life ahead. There is still a beautiful floral note, with proud whiffs of cocoa and tobacco. A sweeping nose, showing a range of a thousand aromas that follow one another and chase each other, from cherry to tar, from ripe fruit to oriental spices. A machine gun of aromas, including sandalwood, incense, face powder, mocha, green pepper, licorice, sweet spices. Slight wrinkles in its expression do not age it but rather seduce: it is the charm of maturity. Great also on the palate, balanced and long, powerful and alluring. Daniele Cernilli, DoctorWine.it, Jan 2013
Provenance: The Multitude Cellar
Notes: Base neck, nicked label, lightly scuffed capsule.
