Lot #706. Le Macchiole Paleo Rosso 2017

Description: Consists of 3 Bottles, 0.75L
Region: Italy, Tuscany.
Score: 97+ WA.
"The Three Graces of Le Macchiole are Messorio, Scrio and Paleo (Merlot, Syrah and Cabernet Franc, respectively). Of these three top-tier releases, my favorite is the 2017 Paleo. This is an upright and direct expression of the grape that carefully sheds some dusty or mineral aromas before opening the way for determined black fruit, charred meat, spice and cured tobacco or cigar. There is quite a bit of oak, but it works beautifully against the natural intensity and rich concentration of the hot vintage. More unexpected are those pretty tones of lilac, blue flower and aniseed that add to the detailed rendering and complexity of the bouquet. This wine won my heart." Monica Larner, Wine Advocate #251, Oct 2020
Provenance: The Arctique Cellar
Notes: 2 Very lightly scuffed, 1 very lightly wine stained labels.
